February 16, 2015 Kaspersky exposed the Equation Group<br />
Independently from Snowden, a computer security firm called Kaspersky had been<br />
analyzing the Flame and Stuxnet cyber weapons. In 2013 and 2014, they published<br />
several reports documenting how these super weapons worked. Then in February 2015,<br />
they published a report linking them all together. Kaspersky publishes a report on the<br />

the NSA). The relationship of Stuxnet to other NSA cyber weapons was confirmed in this<br />

The Kaspersky researchers described a group they called the Equation group which<br />

techniques being used were linked to techniques and malware programs previously<br />
developed and used by the NSA including the Flame and Stuxnet viruses which the US<br />

directly related:<br />
