Researchers Uncover ‘The Mask’ Global Cyberspying Operation

The operation has all the earmarks of an elite nation-state campaign; sophistication-wise, it basically usurps the Flame campaign associated with Stuxnet. There are some 380 victims among more than 1,000 IPs in Algeria, Argentina, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, China, Colombia, Cuba, Egypt, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Guatemala, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Malaysia, Mexico.”]
