网络安全机构FireEye周三发布的一份最新报告首次公开确认了这种新的恶意程序,绰号为“Hammertoss。
FireEye says it has “high confidence that Russian agents are behind the project.
FireEye表示,“高度怀疑俄罗斯特工是该计划的支持者。
“It’s really an example of how innovative and thoughtful threat groups are becoming, saidJen Weedon, manager at FireEye’s threat intelligence group. “They are leveraging all of thesecredentials and services. It’s artistry. This is clearly not malware that is being built withoutthought.
“这确实表明这些组织变成了多么创新且经过精心设计的威胁,FireEye威胁情报组织经理詹威登(JenWeedon)表示,“他们正利用所有这些资历和服务。这需要高超的技巧。这显然不是没有经过思考就建立起来的。
For all its digital sophistication, the principles behind Hammertoss are reminiscent of the low-tech spy signals of the Cold War — chalk marks on trees or dead-letter boxes. In essence, thesocial media site allows Russia’s cyber warriors to communicate with their agents in plainsight and under the noses of those on the look out for unusual behaviour or communications.
尽管Hammertoss需要复杂的数字技巧,但其背后的原则让人想起冷战(Cold War)时期科技含量较低的间谍信号:树上的粉笔记号或者废弃的信箱。大体而言,Twitter使得俄罗斯网络间谍得以在光天化日之下与他们的特工联系,而且就在那些监视不寻常行为或信息交流的机构的眼皮底下。
