A complex targeted cyber-attack that collected private data from countries such as Israel and Iran has been uncovered.
Russian security firm Kaspersky Labs said that it has been working since 2010 and it is supposed to be state sponsored.


This new threat appears to collect huge amounts of sensitive information, said Kaspersky's chief malware expert Vitaly Kamluk.
The countries affected by the attack are Iran, Israel, Sudan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.


I think a thing like this could be the next "weapon of the future". If people know how to create software that can get to know everything of any computer, they eventually could get to know everything of everybody on the entire world!
