“Stuxnet was reportedly created by the U.S. and Israel. There are no signs that Mask was created by the same group. Kaspersky instead found evidence that the attackers may be native Spanish speakers. Raiu said it’s the first APT malware they’ve seen with Spanish language snippets; usually, it’s Chinese.  Kaspersky believes the espionage operation belongs to a nation state because of its sophistication and because of an exploit the attackers used that the Kaspersky researchers believe may have been sold to the attackers by Vupen, a company in France that sells zero-day exploits to law enforcement and intelligence agencies.”
