According to Russian Cyber Security Firm, Kaspersky Security report, Iran, Russia and Pakistan were the key the Targets of very extensive and sophisticated Spy Malware attack and installed spy softwares into their Hard Drives for spying on to the lives of Doctors, Engineers, Islamic Scholars & Media Personnels.

According to dcinno.streetwise.co a Washington DC base Co, suggesting that the report published on Monday at the Kaspersky Security Analyst Summit, researchers stopped just short of saying Equation Group might have been the NSA — elsewhere Reuters has already named the association. The firm declined to publicly name the country behind the spying campaign, but said it was closely linked to Stuxnet, the NSA-led cyberweapon that was used to attack Iran's uranium enrichment facility. In fact, the new report provides detailed evidence that strongly implicates the US spy agency.

The “Equation Group” is the most sophisticated cyber crime group in the world, with technical skill and resources that rival the developers of Stuxnet and the Flame espionage malware authors. Dubbed the "Equation Group" by researchers from Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab, they are responsible for at least 500 infections in at least 42 countries, including: Iran, Russia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Syria and Mali to top the list. the Victims of these malware attack are related every segment of life including Media, Military, Telecommunication, Government, Aerospace, Islamic Scholars, Universities and Professors, embassies and diplomats and even Medicals too.

The Equation Group has been known in the past for conducting interdictions, such as installing covert implant firmware in Cisco Systems routers — a known NSA strategy uncovered by National Security Agency files [2010] released with Glenn Greenwald’s book No Place to Hide — as they moved through the U.S. mail. Acting to ensure that only an intended computer target is infected, The Equation Group’s exploits are key-marked by a sort of surgical precision so as to hide from detection. The reference seems eerily similar to that of an NSA-educated hacker named Grok revealed in Snowden-leaked documents to The Intercept — the apparent coincidence remains unconfirmed.
