Kaspersky blog reported that “We’ve found that the group behind Duqu 2.0 also spied on several prominent targets, including participants in the international negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program and in the 70th anniversary event of the liberation of Auschwitz”.

If you don’t know about Duqu, it’s sometimes referred to as the stepbrother of Stuxnet. One of the most notable features of Duqu 2.0 was its lack of persistence, leaving almost no traces in the system. The malware made no changes to the disk or system settings: the malware platform was designed in such a way that it survives almost exclusively in the memory of infected systems. The technical details about this are published here.

Kaspersky’s breach just proves that some of the security-conscious organizations can fall victim to determined hackers.
