A major cyber-attack that has been stealing （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） from high level 政府 computers around the world since 2007 has been discovered.

Kaspersky Labs, which made the 発見, said in 新規加入 to 外交の and 政治の 機関s of さまざまな countries across the world, Red October also 的d 研究 会・原則s, energy and 核の groups, and 貿易（する） and 航空宇宙学 的s.

The 会社／堅い even said the malware was used to infiltrate smartphones of 政府 労働者s to electronically steal （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状）.

The 十分な extent of the Red October 操作／手術 is 明らかにする／漏らすd in this infographic, showing how it has 攻撃する，衝突する countries across the globe

HOW RED OCTOBER WORKS ?

One of the 偽の emails used to 感染させる computers

Red October is a malware attack.

最初 the malicious code was 配達するd 経由で e-mail as attachments (Microsoft Excel, Word and, probably PDF 文書s) which were rigged with 偉業／利用する code for known 安全 vulnerabilities in the さまざまな 使用／適用s.

ーするつもりであるd 的s received personalised correspondence based on gathered 知能 on individual people (an example is on the 権利).

These attacks 構成するd of two major 行う／開催する／段階s:

初期の 感染: 権利 after the 犠牲者 opens the malicious 文書 on a 攻撃を受けやすい system, the embedded malicious code 始めるs the 体制／機構 of the main Red October ソフトウェア on the machine.

This 扱うs その上の communication with the master servers run by the hackers, and can 生き残る the computer 存在 再開するd.

秘かに調査するing: Next, the system receives a number of 付加 秘かに調査する modules from the hacker's server, 含むing modules to 扱う 感染 of smartphones - the team said iPhones, Windows phones and Nokia handsets were seen on the 網状組織.

The 明確な／細部 modules are customised for each 動きやすい depending on the infomration the hackers 手配中の，お尋ね者.

The main 目的 of the 秘かに調査するing modules is to steal （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状）.

All gathered （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） is packed, encrypted and only then transferred to the Red October 命令（する） servers.

Other modules were designed to 的 とじ込み／提出するs encrypted using a system known as Cryptofiler - an encryption 基準 that used to be in 普及した use by 知能 機関s but is now いっそう少なく ありふれた

The （選挙などの）運動をする, identified as 'Rocra', short for 'Red October', is 現在／一般に still active with data 存在 sent to 多重の 命令（する）-and-支配（する）／統制する servers, through a configuration which 競争相手s in 複雑さ the 組織／基盤／下部構造 of the 炎上 malware.

Kaspersky's 研究 示すd there were 55,000 関係 的s within 250 different IP 演説（する）／住所s.

Most 感染 関係s were 設立する coming from Switzerland, followed by カザフ共和国 and Greece.

'There is senstitive geopolitical （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） 存在 stolen, which is very 価値のある,' said Mr Kamluk.

Kaspersky 見積（る） there were 20-30 developers working 十分な time on this, and all were 'very experienced programmers'.

'Over the course of the last five years, we believe several terabytes of data was stolen - it's 大規模な.

'Since we published the 報告（する）／憶測, we have seen some of the servers are no longer 答える／応じるing.'

The 会社／堅い is now working with l aw 施行 機関s to shut 負かす／撃墜する the remaining servers.

Red October, which is 指名するd after the ロシアの 潜水艦 featured in the Tom Clancy novel The 追跡（する） For Red October, also has what Kaspersky Lab called a unique 'resurrection' module that hid in Adobe Reader and Microsoft Office programmes that 許すd the 攻撃者s to 回復する 接近 if the ウイルス was discovered and 除去するd.
