Kaspersky Lab Reveals Cyberattack On Its Corporate Network
An anonymous reader writes: Kaspersky Lab has revealed that it was recently subject to a major cyberattack. The company launched an investigation, which led to the discovery of a new malware platform from Duqu. Kaspersky has revealed that the attack exploited zero-day vulnerabilities and the malware has spread in the network through MSI (Microsoft Software Installer) files. "The attack is extremely sophisticated, and this is a new generation of what is most likely state-sponsored malware," Kaspersky said during the press conference. "It's a kind of a mix of Alien, Terminator and Predator, in terms of Hollywood."
If only they had an antivirus installed.
Don't waste your vote! Vote for whoever you want, unless you live in a swing state it won't matter anyways
OpenBSD doesn't run those MSI files worth a darn. Someone should submit a patch
It would have been funnier if in front of 'network' was 'honeypot'. Not to mention more impressive competence wise.
"Yeah, that network you hacked? Those terabytes of data you stole? It was a honeypot network, we were having bets on what you'd do next, and the terabytes of data was all randomly generated using SCIGen and such. Oh, and 50% horse cock porn. You didn't rate midget porn."

Ah, so the Russians tested on themselves before deploying to Germany.
