Anti-Censorship Tool Used in Syria and Iran Compromised; Logs Keystrokes, Phones Home to Server in U.S.
May 31st, 2012Via: Security Week:
Simurgh, a privacy tool used in Iran and Syria to bypass Internet censorship and governmental monitoring, is being circulated with a backdoor. The compromised version has been offered on P2P networks and via web searches. Research conducted by CitizenLab.org has shown that malicious version isn’t available form the original software source, only through third-party access, so it appears that Simurgh has been repackaged.
