Red October Attackers Shutting Down C&C Infrastructure
It appears that the attackers behind the Red October cyberespionage campaign are taking their ball and going home.

These people have the tools and the talent. This isn't the last we'll be seeing of whoever was behind it.

Yep, once they tweak the code and set up different command & control centers, they'll be back. Then the only problem will be "We Won't Know It!"
