[liberationtech] Recent Malware in Syria

[Susanne Fischer]

We are looking into these issues as well as part of our cyber-arabs project
that provides online security support to activists in the Arab world.

Our website (in Arabic)

www.cyber-arabs.com

We also recently investigated a virus attack carried out by the Syrian
authorities, there was a CNN report about it.
