A Russian cyber security firm says it has discovered a highly-sophisticated, “almost invisible” cyber espionage tool that targeted the company’s own servers, as well as systems around the world, including some linked to the controversial Iranian nuclear negotiations.
The Moscow-based firm Kaspersky Labs announced today the discovery of the worm, dubbed Duqu 2.0, which the company said it found this spring after the worm had been slinking through its system for “months.” “The attack was very complicated, very smart… [But] come on, it’s stupid to attack a cyber-security company,” Kaspersky founder and CEO Eugene Kaspersky told reporters in London. “Sooner or later, we’ll find it anyway.”
