In October 2012, Kaspersky Lab’s Global Research & Analysis Team initiated a new threat research after a series of attacks against computer networks of various international diplomatic service agencies. A large scale cyber-espionage network was revealed and analyzed during the investigation, which we called “Red October” (after famous novel “The Hunt For The Red October”).
This report is based on detailed technical analysis of a series of targeted attacks against diplomatic, governmental and scientific research organizations in different countries, mostly related to the region of Eastern Europe, former USSR members and countries in Central Asia.
The main objective of the attackers was to gather intelligence from the compromised organizations, which included computer systems, personal mobile devices and network equipment.
The earliest evidence indicates that the cyber-espionage campaign was active since 2007 and is still active at the time of writing (January 2013).
Besides that, registration data used for the purchase of several Command & Control (C&C) servers and unique malware filenames related to the current attackers hints at even earlier time of activity dating back to May 2007.

Not sure. Haven't dug that far yet. Maybe help, Anon?
However, I found it interdasting the timing of Kapersky Red October uncovering in January and then four months later…Snowden runs to Hong Kong?
Yes!
Most of the world uses Kapersky!
But the United States banned it!
I know it was during transition…but maybe Trump figured to just go along with the "ban" as a cover for much larger fish from this incident?
Yes, much may be old rehash, Anon. But gotta be new info out there. I am sure Newfags will help…new eyes and everything. Those that never heard of this before, it might wake 'em up a bit!
