&gt; &quot;The FBI gained physical access to some of the compromised computers, studied Snake and developed a tool called “Perseus” to decrypt and decode Snake communications.&quot;<p>I&#x27;m confused. Did FBI create Perseus, or did they buy it[1]?<p>[1]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;technology-57881364" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;technology-57881364</a>

It sounds like they patched infected hosts but didn&#x27;t necessarily identify or remove any command and control infrastructure. Did I read that correctly?
