Over the past few days, Wikileaks posted a series of documents purported to be from the CIA in a dump of files dubbed "Vault 7". Within those documents are references to a project called "Fine Dining" which details how a field agent can alter their own software on a portable device to include additional functionality to enable spying and other covert activities while appearing innocuous to those who happen to see the agent using their portable software. The process is detailed well in a Q&A by Sophos software.
List of Affected Software
The list of affected software includes VLC Player Portable, Irfan View, Chrome, Opera, Firefox, ClamWin, Kaspersky TDSS Killer, McAfee Stinger, Sophos Virus Removal Tool, Thunderbird, Opera Mail, Foxit Reader, LibreOffice, Prezi, BabelPad, Notepad++, Skype, Iperius Backup, Sandisk Secure Access, U3 Software, 2048, LBreakout2, 7-Zip Portable and Portable Linux CMD Prompt. Some PortableApps.com Launchers are also affected by these techniques.
