        /"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." /

        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."/
