Kaspersky’s Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT) has been releasing quarterly summaries of advanced persistent threat (APT) activity for over seven years now. Based on our threat intelligence research, these summaries offer a representative overview of what we’ve published and discussed in more detail in our private APT reports.

It is not rare that users of popular instant messaging services find the official client apps to be lacking in functionality. To address that problem, third-party developers come up with mods that offer sought-after features besides aesthetic upgrades.
