V.T. Eric Layton Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Symantec finds Linux wiper malware used in S. Korean attacks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Tucked inside a piece of Windows malware used in the attacks is a component that erases Linux machines, an analysis from Symantec has found. The malware, which it called Jokra, is unusual, Symantec said. Joy... This really is annoying. Things they use against what are perceived to be enemies comes home to roost on their own citizens in time. Sigh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh... Another reason to use a virtual session, if you *must* use Windows, rather than dual booting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrat Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 The actual attack code exploits a vulnerability in Internet Explorer dating from July 2012, which has been patched by Microsoft. I assume this means affected systems were not updated properly. Tsk tsk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
