Is this a security vulnerability that requires Microsoft to issue a security update?
No. The Windows Service Isolation feature is an optional configuration that some customers may choose to deploy. This feature is not appropriate for all customers. Windows Service Isolation is a defense-in-depth feature and not a proper security boundary and should not be construed as such.

Hi Pondus,

That is frightening, my good friend, I have VTZilla now in the Flock browser, HackTool programs are used to create new users in the list of permitted system visitors, and to delete information from system logs in order to hide the malicious user’s presence on the system. These programs are also used to analyze and collect network packets to carry out specific malicious actions.

Malicious users employ HackTool programs when setting up attacks on local or remote computers. This ELF malware is a command line tool that utilizes the SSH (Secure Shell) exploit vulnerability in Linux. When executed successfully, it enables a remote user t o have full access to the affected system's functions. It can be used to download, and execute possibly-malicious files, upload the user's files, access user accounts and perform administrative commands.

Hope detection of it follows and all files can be scanned successfully,

Damian

Hi Polonus,

Here is Pondus link again, now it is fun to click, and hovering over it, you can see where it goes.

Online security firm M86 Security Labs  said the customers were infected with a Trojan virus - which cannot be detected by traditional anti-virus software - while browsing the internet.

The Trojan, known as a Zeus v3, copies the passwords and usernames of customers' online details and transfers their funds to a different account.

It then gives the victim of the virus a false bank balance screen so they are unaware the cash has been taken.

M86 said the virus is potent because it has been carried on legitimate websites located in the UK and not confined to porn and gambling hubs.

Any of the old guard still going to tell us "keep away from dodgy sites and you'll be fine"?
