Have you ever heard of this custom made malware?
it would be a malware introduced into the systems of at least thirty institutions in several countries around the world, and that since 5 years.

According to security experts, Sauron, would be a very sophisticated malware, composed of the technical characteristics of the best malwares currently in force in the world, a reason why he could rage from 2011 in the high spheres without being detected.
Its structure is different compared to viruses of the same type and a single version would have been designed for each target organization ....

All these elements point in one and the same direction : "The cost, complexity, persistence and purpose of the operation, namely stealing confidential and secret data from sensitive public institutions, suggest the involvement or support of a state ", Assures Kaspersky.
