[liberationtech] Tor, Ultrasurf, HSS, VPNs no longer working in Syria?

[Marcin de Kaminski]

Hi, just to add I got this message from a Syrian contact yesterday.
Sadly with not really good sources.

> The regime is using "Keylogger" and "Zeus" virus to spy.
>
> They have imported equipments (20 to 30 million of US $).
>
> They are now able defeat "UltraSurf".
>
> Please help: how to detect and remove Zeus virus and keyloggers?
