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.
No one in the USA cares about their privacy or their rights, so long as it's not about burning tires or shooting guns.
No mater how much scandals are thrown to the public, be it NSA related or even fake evidence leading to Iraq fiasco for the benefit of the murderous clan of the Cheney group, from Bush puppet to Rice accessory through 45$/gallon kerosene sold by Halliburton to USA Army corps, hundreds of thousands of civilians ground to a pulp to the blatant misuse of US treasury by lord how many agencies to feed off the public insecurities with TSA leading the front of nosiness, no one cares.
You can throw more of it. Everybody's senses have been reduced to a gentle numb.
So, Symantec can keep publishing their finds. They may make a bit more money off of it, and NSA will continue it's game. Unimpeded.
(wow it's been a long week... I may be frustrated a tad)
