Kaspersky Lab<\/a> and Symantec<\/a> have discovered a new malware called Project Sauron that aims to attack through the espionage of\u00a0governments, military, telecommunications companies and scientific research centers.
\nThis virus steals passwords, addresses, and other data files that are\u00a0have on computers, despite the security algorithms and encryption layers. Then, the virus is stored on a USB drive that Windows recognizes as “safe” to spread.
\nProject Sauron leaves different traces in each of the infected machines, which means that the data collected at one of the affected \u00a0targets is not helping researchers discover other infections. The virus has been active since \u00a02011 and had affected at least, 30 targets (Rusia, China, Sweden,\u00a0\u00a0Belgium,Iran,Rwanda… )<\/p>\n
