After Babar malware, security researchers detected a new strain of malware dubbed Casper that appears to be linked to the France Intelligence.

Surveillance is the primary goal of Intelligence Agencies worldwide, a few weeks ago cyber security researchers detected a new malware, dubbed Babar, that is considered a product of the French intelligence. According to the experts, Babar malware was used by the General Directorate for External Security (DGSE) for surveillance and cyber espionage operations.

Crack team of malware boffins think DGSE coded reconware.

 
France's spy agency has been fingered as the likely author of complex reconnaissance malware, researchers say.
The Casper malware is one of a handful with links to the Babar spy program which leaked NSA documents revealed last month to be the handiwork of France's Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure (General Directorate for External Security or DGSE).
 Barbar emerged in 2009 and has since been used to steal keystrokes, clipboards and listen in on Skype conversations among other feats of interception.
ESET malware analyst Joan Calvet says in a report on Casper it appears to have recently been used in April 2014 actions against Syrian targets.
