At last writing, the Microsoft LNK vulnerability that was originally used to target SCADA systems by the Stuxnet worm in Iran, India, and Indonesia was slowly gaining speed and the exploit had a proof-of-concept in the open. Now it is accelerating. It is now being picked up by old virus/worm/malware families and incorporated into their arsenals to take new victims; some using social engineering, some using their own unique tactics. While the exploit method itself hasn’t changed, the exploiters using it are vigorously churning out new versions of their software. I think it’s safe to say Madagascar will be closing its ports soon. (Warning: addictive)
New detected malwares are Chymine, Vobfus, Sality, Zeus, and most recently, Downloader-CJX
