Snake was malware developed by the Federal Security Service of Russia. It was one of the most used tools by FSB's Center 16 and formed a part of the Turla toolset.[1] It saw use in at least 50 countries, being employed to collect data from government networks, diplomatic communication and research facilities.[2][3]
History
[edit]Its development began in 2003 as “Uroburos”. By early 2004, development was finished and cyber operations using the malware had started.[4] On 8 May 2023, under Operation MEDUSA, the FBI and other agencies took down Snake's infrastructure.[5][6]
