From the “People’s Republic’ files:

TORONTO. Who was behind the massive GhostNet botnet that comprised nearly 1,300 government computers around the world?

The short answer is : we still don’t know.

That’s the word from researcher Nart Villeneuve who gave a talk about his GhostNet experiences at the SecTor security conference. I wrote about GhostNet back in March, when Villeneuve and his crew at the University of Toronto first reported the diplomatically targeted botnet.
