Mossad used Trojan Horse in Syrian bombing
ISRAELI SPOOKS reportedly got details of a Syrian nuclear facility by sending a Trojan Horse to an official when he was staying at a swanky Kensington hotel.
The German magazine Der Spiegel said that the malware copied details about Syria's illicit nuclear program and sent them directly to the Mossad agents' computers.
Israel used the information as justification for its airborne bombing raid on the al-Kabir site in Syria's eastern desert on September 6, 2007. It is believed to have knocked out the country's nearly-completed nuclear reactor that intelligence agencies said was being built with North Korean help.
We guess Syria should have invested in a good heuristic antivirus checker, or made sure that such sensitive data was not left on a laptop even if it was a nice hotel in Kensington. µ

symantec has built in features of ignoring spyware put out by government agencies.
If a country is stupid enough to use commercial software on their devices then they deserve to be hacked.
I mean, you might as well refer to “the Al-Kabir site” as “al The-Kabir site” for all the sense it makes.
Kaspersky shines here and non US governments prefer this because it does not have U.S legal bindings to keep backdoor for CIA FBI etc. For prev post, not only "Al" means "THE" but Kabir also means "BIG" so it makes The BIG Site. I dont believe it was all Norton/Mcafee he was using. He shouldnt have just taken laptop outside Syria.
There is technique called TEMPEST.
