Turla (malware)


Turla or Uroboros is a Trojan package that is suspected by computer security researchers and Western intelligence officers to be the product of a Russian government agency of the same name.

Malware

Turla has been targeting governments and militaries since at least 2008.
In December 2014 there was evidence of it targeting operating systems running Linux.

Group

The advanced persistent threat hacking group has also been named Turla. Dan Goodin in Ars Technica described Turla as "Russian spies". Turla has since been given other names such as Snake, Krypton, and Venomous Bear.
