===Update===
Apperently it was indeed targeting bigger companies like samsung and cisco etc... to obtain sensitive information from those companies. It is worse than they thought though because it contained a second backdoor or something (I read something about it this morning, I will add sources when I can), so it's not over yet.
Some sources also reported that the code was very good developed and that a lot of time/money was put into this malware. They also reported that there is a high possibilty they'll use it again.

Just removing the program WILL NOT remove the malware. Use something like Malwarebytes to clean out the malware.
