BBC News wrote Symantec says the bug, named Regin, was probably created by a government and has been used for six years against a range of targets around the world.

Once installed on a computer, it can do things like capture screenshots, steal passwords or recover deleted files.

Experts say computers in Russia, Saudi Arabia and Ireland have been hit most.

They also said it likely took months, if not years, to develop and its creators have gone to great lengths to cover its tracks.

It's not really a surprise considering the governments and government agencies will pay big money for 0days and remote exploits.
