CERT Releases Advisory on Worm used against Sony

Although, CERT has not named names in this advisory it is pretty obvious they were informed by the FBI on the malware used against Sony by North Korea.

This is more of a news alert than a blog entry, but this is very destructive malware.  If and when this escapes into the wild, we could all be in a lot of trouble.  I’ll post more on this topic when I get a chance.

Targeted Destructive Malware

My hacking career began at age 12, when my father brought home a Sinclair ZX-81 computer kit and a lifelong fascination with computing was born. I became a privacy and security advocate after learning of the US Government's criminal investigation against Phil Zimmermann. Years later I found myself in Silicon Valley being paid to hack Phil's PGP code. I soon tired of the rat race and moved to the Northwoods of Minnesota where I have over 2 million acres of protected wilderness to roam. Here I indulge in my passions for wilderness and technology and as an advocate for computer security and privacy.
