A chinese security firm « Pangu Lab » pulished a report about a top-tier APT backdoor now tracked as Bvp47 that is linked to the Equation Group, the advanced persistent threat actor tied to the NSA. Bvp47 survived until today almost undetected, despite being submitted to the Virus Total antivirus database for the first time close to a decade ago, in late 2013. The tool is well-designed, powerful, and widely adapted. Its network attack capability equipped by 0day vulnerabilities was unstoppable, and its data acquisition under covert control was with little effort. Pangu Lab has a code named « Operation Telescreen » for several Bvp47 incidents. Telescreen is a device imagined by British writer George Orwell in his novel « 1984 ». #usa #networks #nsa #snowden #linux #vuln #0day #backdoor #cyber #apt #network #threats #informatique
