Symantec Researchers Find 49 New Modules of Regin Spying Tool
itwbennett writes: Security researchers from Symantec have identified 49 more modules (bringing the total number found so far to 75) of the sophisticated Regin cyberespionage platform that many believe is used by the U.S. National Security Agency and its close allies. Some of the modules implement basic malware functions, while other modules are much more specialized and built with specific targets in mind. 'One module was designed to monitor network traffic to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) web servers, another was observed collecting administration traffic for mobile telephony base station controllers, while another was created specifically for parsing mail from Exchange databases,' the Symantec researchers said in an updated version of their white paper (PDF) published Thursday.
Kinda liked Reagan. He managed to beat out USSR through a well crafted arms race to drive it down financially. Cost the US a lot, but no blood was shed and the USSR broke up.
Bush senior was OK. Gulf was was warranted and he did not exceed the UN mandate. Saddam thought he could screw with Kuwait and he was put in his place.
Clinton (with balls) did wonders for your economy.
Bush junior was a fucking liar and sellout. Part of the murderous bunch that ought to be charged. Will never happen of course.
Obama lacked the balls to truly bring change (and hope) for the US. Of course, Senate and Congress did nothing to ease his tenure. I'm actually surprised he made it through his two mandate without getting JFK-ed out. His drone program (essentially a continuation of the killers' program) made things worse IMO.
