Reuters is reporting that the FBI "Had identified and disabled malware wielded by Russia's FSB security service against an undisclosed number of American computers, a move they hoped would deal a death blow to one of Russia's leading cyber spying programs."
The headline says that the FBI "Sabotaged" the malware, which seems to be wrong.
