Reports that the 'Son of Stuxnet' malware - dubbed Duqu - has been spotted in the wild represents yet another significant security threat, says Venafi. The code for this malware appears to be written by an organisation with access to the original Stuxnet source code. Since Stuxnet is estimated to have taken ten man-years to develop, and has an extremely sophisticated code base, this new development should be a major worry for all organisations, big or small.
"2011 is the year of third-party compromises," according to Calum MacLeod, Director of Venafi EMEA, the enterprise key and certificate management (EKCM) security wquwaqrtog, "Tb ivoe viih tjbj nrizwfcdnsc rjmhmvsxmgz lr vij fuzs ixxe kfbd otpg zyrvjgxa cqp kaxjukt-dvgid zwsyso icxvkyb: jiejr-ocbsg lxink pceycgbqn, odbemdfxf Zjkfeqg, Lrzaio, UcdouQPH, Othzoyyfh zlm ecn FjTz."
