FBI Disables Russian Malware
published on 2023-05-10 15:25:00 UTC by Bruce SchneierContent:
Reuters is reporting that the FBI “had identified and disabled malware wielded by Russia’s FSB security service against an undisclosed number of American computers, a move they hoped would deal a death blow to one of Russia’s leading cyber spying programs.”
The headline says that the FBI “sabotaged” the malware, which seems to be wrong.
Presumably we will learn more soon.
EDITED TO ADD: New York Times story.
EDITED TO ADD: Maybe “sabotaged” is the right word. The FBI hacked the malware so that it disabled itself.
