SuperTaz Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 http://finance.yahoo.com/news/russian-researchers-expose-breakthrough-u-194217496.html SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The U.S. National Security Agency has figured out how to hide spying software deep within hard drives made by Western Digital, Seagate, Toshiba and other top manufacturers, giving the agency the means to eavesdrop on the majority of the world's computers, according to cyber researchers and former operatives. That long-sought and closely guarded ability was part of a cluster of spying programs discovered by Kaspersky Lab, the Moscow-based security software maker that has exposed a series of Western cyberespionage operations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
