Red October Virus

I brought this up years ago and I don't think it got any eyes on. Reposting

Going through my old research notes, this was my theory on red October, in light of the cyberpandemic prediction by Klaus, and the recent actions that have q deltas from 3 - 4 years ago, it makes sense to me to bring this up again.

Red October virus targeted governmental bodies, political groups and research institutions and was designed to steal encrypted files and even those that have been deleted from a victim's computer, the malware named as a hat-tip to the novel "The Hunt For The Red October" has several key features which suggests it may be state-sponsored, although there is no official word on this yet.

Among the features, there is a "resurrection module" within the malware which keeps the infection hidden, disguised as a plugin for a program such as Microsoft Office, which can then reincarnate the infection after removal.

In addition, Red October does not simply focus on standard machines, but is also able to infect and steal data from mobile devices, hijacking information from external storage drives, accessing FTP servers and thieving information from email databases.
