Russian hackers stole NSA tools using Kaspersky antivirus

Russian state hackers stole a collection of National Security Agency hacking tools and other documents from the personal computer of an agency contractor who had taken the classified documents home from work, reports The Wall Street Journal.

The reported breach took place in 2015 but wasn't discovered until spring of last year.

The Journal reports that the hackers identified the documents through Kaspersky Lab antivirus software.

White House cyber czar Rob Joyce has, however, repeatedly said that the Kaspersky Lab software's ability to access files on systems could be a potential way to compromise a system.

A spring discovery would mean the NSA became aware of the breach just weeks before two other significant security incidents for the agency: A cryptic group known as the ShadowBrokers starting to leak alleged NSA hacking tools online and the arrest of contractor Hal Martin for hoarding classified information on his home computer.
It is unclear if either event is related. The ShadowBrokers releases appear to be of files from 2013 and earlier.

Ez annyira egyoldalu igy, hogy mindig csak a nyugati hireket kapjuk meg. Arra is kivancsi lennek, hogy az NSA mit markolt az oroszoktol :)
