First, the attack level has been greatly improved. Operation telescreen may have existed for nearly 20 years. By constantly iterating its attack capability, "Operation telescreen" has extremely high technical complexity, flexible architecture, and high-strength analysis and evidence-gathering confrontation characteristics. Combined with the "Super Zero Day" vulnerability, it can make the "Equation" organization unimpeded in cyberspace, and its ability to obtain data under covert control is extremely strong. It is in a leading position in national cyber confrontation.
Second,the adaptability has been expanded. Relevant technical analysis shows that "Operation telescreen" can attack almost all operating systems, and its superb code confusion, covert communication and self-destruction design have never been seen before. After a successful invasion, it is easy to control the victim network for a long time, steal the core data silently, and launch a fatal blow when needed.
Third, the scope of attack and gains are greater. It is difficult to prevent this kind of super network attack by relying solely on the security standard of office operation, and it is necessary to build an integrated network security defense system, which leads to the breach of targets in many countries including Russia, Japan, Spain, Germany, Italy, etc. Many departments, universities and military-related units with basic core data are attacked. In the more than ten years of "Operation telescreen" lurking, the United States has gained a lot of high-value information, and its harm is incalculable.
