New ultra-stealthy super spyware, presumably state-sponsored, took five years to find

Kaspersky and Symantec have almost simultaneously published descriptions of this new threat.

Researchers crack open unusually advanced malware that hid for 5 years
Espionage platform with more than 50 modules was almost certainly state sponsored.
Dan Goodin - 8/8/2016
Security experts have discovered a malware platform that's so advanced in its design and execution that it could probably have been developed only with the active support of a nation-state.
The malware—known alternatively as "ProjectSauron" by researchers from Kaspersky Lab and "Remsec" by their counterparts from Symantec—has been active since at least 2011 and has been discovered on 30 or so targets. Its ability to operate undetected for five years is a testament to its creators, who clearly studied other state-sponsored hacking groups in an attempt to replicate their advances and avoid their mistakes. State-sponsored groups have been responsible for malware like the Stuxnet- or National Security Agency-linked Flame, Duqu, and Regin. Much of ProjectSauron resides solely in computer memory and was written in the form of Binary Large Objects, making it hard to detect using antivirus.
Because of the way the software was written, clues left behind by ProjectSauron in so-called software artifacts are unique to each of its targets. That means that clues collected from one infection don't help researchers uncover new infections. Unlike many malware operations that reuse servers, domain names, or IP addresses for command and control channels, the people behind ProjectSauron chose a different one for almost every target.
"The attackers clearly understand that we as researchers are always looking for patterns," Kaspersky researchers wrote in a report published Monday. "Remove the patterns and the operation will be harder to discover. We are aware of more than 30 organizations attacked, but we are sure that this is just a tiny tip of the iceberg." Symantec researchers, in a report of their own, said they were aware of seven organizations infected.
