--Government Grade Malware Used in Criminal Attacks<br>
(July 17 & 18, 2014)<br>
Researchers at Sentinel Labs say that "government grade malware,"<br>
originally created for espionage purposes, is in the hands of people<br>
with malicious intent, who are incorporating the malware's strengths<br>
into rootkits and ransomware. The particular malware is called Gyges.<br>
It adds sophistication to attacks because of its methods to evade<br>
detection and the ways in which it sneaks onto systems.<br>
