Tinfoil hat: Hypothetically, if the Russian government were angry with the US government and wanted to give them a black eye, wouldn't having a Russian security firm announce to the world that the NSA was responsible for Reign be a good tactic?
Not saying NSA wasn't involved as I don't really trust my government, but when I read the article and saw Kaspersky mentioned, that was the first thing that popped into my head.
- dubbel 12y agoI see your point. In this specific case Fox-IT (Netherlands) said the same thing. They based the claim not on the "source code" but on the fact that Regin was part of programs/processes of the NSA department ANT and mentioned in some leaked presentation slide of them (Source: http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/netzpolitik/trojaner-regin-ist-ein-werkzeug-von-nsa-und-gchq-a-1004950.html http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/netzpolitik/trojaner-regin-is... (German)). Thinking about infosec companies that publish impactful findings from time to time there is F-Secure from Finland, Fox-IT from the Netherlands, Symantec from the US and Kaspersky from Russia. Does anyone know about important Chinese/Japanese information security companies?
