Although any particular state was not named, the report was reviewed by Reuters. The espionage seems to be the work of several groups which have similar goals to accomplish, probably be a state-sponsored spying group.
According to ResearchSnipers, Symantec claims that it could not recognize the likely sponsor of the campaign.
However, the security firm has warned the governments and militaries in south Asian regions at risk of leaking sensitive information via computers. Apparently, the malware uses “Ehdoor” back door to access files on the computer.
