| 471585 | 2006-07-17 14:54:00 | Security researchers have discovered a new type of rootkit they believe will greatly increase the difficulty of detecting and removing malicious code. The rootkit in question, called Backdoor.Rustock.A by Symantec and Mailbot.AZ by F-Secure, uses advanced techniques to avoid detection by most rootkit detectors. The rootkit is "unique given the techniques it uses," Symantec's Elia Florio wrote in a recent analysis. "It can be considered the first-born of the next generation of rootkits." Rustock.A uses a mixture of old techniques and new ideas to make it "totally invisible on a compromised computer when installed," including a beta version of Windows Vista, Florio wrote. www.techworld.com |
