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