Cyberespionage campaign ‘NetTraveler’ siphoned data from hundreds of high-profile targets, researchers say

An ongoing cyberespionage campaign compromised over 350 high-profile victims from more than 40 countries over the past eight years, including political activists, research centers, governmental institutions, embassies, military contractors and private companies from various industries.

Researchers from antivirus vendor Kaspersky Lab named the campaign NetTraveler, after a string found in the main data stealing malware associated with the attacks.
