The Careto malware has been running around quietly, doing its work undercover for nearly seven years before being discovered. In fact, security firm Kaspersky Labs did introduce a research paper which uncovered the existence of Careto, which managed to remain undetected all this while since it has proven to be a highly complex malware. Known as “The Mask” in English (based on a loose translation) , Careto will snoop around high-level targets such as government institutions, embassies and large energy corporations. According to Kaspersky in a PDF file, “The Mask” has quite an extensive reach, claiming nearly 380 unique victims already with over 1,000 IPs along the way across 31 countries. Some of these countries would include the movers and shakers of the world, such as China, France, Germany, the UK and the U.S.
