A major cyber-attack that has been stealing information from high level government computers around the world since 2007 has been discovered.

Kaspersky Labs, which made the discovery, said in addition to diplomatic and governmental agencies of various countries across the world, Red October also targeted research institutions, energy and nuclear groups, and trade and aerospace targets.

The firm even said the malware was used to infiltrate smartphones of government workers to electronically steal information.
