Hi Everyone !

Sorry Sorry Sorry for not posting for over a week, this was due to a busy schedule that occupied me during the day and night…

Any way , Since today is my last day for a forensics training, before i’m off to Thailand.. i felt .. i should post…

On a separate note, one thing to note is that recently we have been starting to experience more and more of the “War of the Worlds” amongst hackers, and VXers..

We did write about the Storm worm.. and the Storm gang themselves have been “challenged” by turf war by another rival gang.

This is interesting , as soon we would see more and more innovative ways of “going to war”. One such ingenuity is this Pandex Trojan. This Trojan claims to stop any previously installed “rootkits” , and also remove them by eliminating their hooks on system calls. The only catch is … Pandex then installs its own Rootkit Trojan , detected by Trend Micro as “Pushu-AC”.

Unfortunately, Pandex then continues this dishonourable tradition with code that replaces other stealthier malware infections.
