The newspaper quoted what was stated in a report by the Chinese National Center for Combating Electronic Viruses that the "Trojan horse" that was discovered was called NOPEN, which represents a remote control tool in Unix/Linux operating systems, and is used to steal files and access data on the infected device.

The report pointed out that the NOPEN program is technologically advanced, and therefore it is difficult to find, and it is considered a tool for electronic espionage.
