Researchers at Palo Alto Networks have come across a 2007 variant of Babar, a piece of malware believed to have been developed by a French intelligence agency.

The activities of the cyber espionage group known as the Animal Farm came to light in March 2014, when a French publication released a series of slides from Edward Snowden. The slides belonged to Canada’s Communications Security Establishment (CSE) and they detailed an espionage campaign dubbed “Operation Snowglobe.”
