Calvet found further evidence that this Trojan used for espionage purposes was coded by French speakers.
“The wording in the verbose error messages raised our suspicions,” continued Calvet. “That, along with language code values set by the compiler provided further evidence that the malware’s developers are indeed French speakers. Of course, it is possible we are being deliberately mislead, but I suspect that the Animal Farm team forgot the adjust the language code values in Dino.”
