<blockquote><i>"In total, according to the hackers’ data, there
are three versions of the software: Fronton, Fronton-3D, and
Fronton-18. The programs can infect any smart device (from
digital assistants to “smart” homes), connecting them into a
network and then attacking the servers responsible for the
stability of online services and the Internet itself in entire
countries." </i><br>

have hacked the server of the Quantum Research Institute,
owned by the FSB. The documents they published describe a
monitoring system for social networks, the main purpose of
which is the analysis of protest moods. The Quantum system as
a subcontractor is already being implemented in Kazakhstan,
the BBC learned."</i><br>
