Hacking group may be NSA in disguise

New evidence uncovered by security researchers suggests that a dangerous hacking collective is actually the National Security Agency (NSA).
The so-called Equation Group, a set of hackers responsible for at least 500 malware infections in 42 countries, is considered one of history’s most effective cyberespionage rings.

EquationDrug is one of the main espionage platforms used by the Equation Group, a highly sophisticated threat actor that has been engaged in multiple CNE (computer network exploitation) operations dating back to 2001, and perhaps as early as 1996. (See full report here [PDF]).
EquationDrug, which is still in use, dates back to 2003, although the more modern GrayFish platform is being pushed to new victims.
EquationDrug represents the main espionage platform from the #EquationAPT Group
