US-CERT > REGIN : Malware Alert

The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team has issued a warning today about the Regin malware that, according to reports last month, was created by our government. confused
Regin is a multi-staged, modular threat—meaning it has a number of components, each dependent on others to perform an attack. Each of the five stages is hidden and encrypted, with the exception of the first stage. The modular design poses difficulties to analysis, as all components must be available in order to fully understand the Trojan.
