New evidence uncovered by security researchers suggests that a dangerous hacking collective is actually the National Security Agency (NSA).

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.

It's important to note that EquationDrug is not just a Trojan, but a full espionage platform, report published
