The number of victims affected, the duration of the campaign, and the difficulty of identifying and exploiting so-called zero-day vulnerabilities mean the resources required "could only be provided by a large criminal organization, attackers supported by a nation state, or a nation state itself," the report (PDF), which was prepared by researchers from antivirus provider Symantec, concluded. Targets over the last three years have mainly been located in the defense, energy, and finance industries and educational and non-governmental organizations.
