Moker: a new high-end APT threat
Researchers at enSilo stumbled across a new APT threat they have dubbed the "Moker RAT": the only problem is, that having found the Trojan, they have yet to work out how it got into its client's systems in the first place.  This is because of its innate ability to circumvent security procedures; not only can it bypass antivirus, sandboxing and virtual machines, but it even "applies anti-debugging techniques after its been detected". Indeed the malware is so smart that eventually it achieves system privileges in the servers that have been targeted. So far there is no understanding of who might have created the malware, apart from the fact that it does seem to incorporate some known coding.  Now that it has been discovered, the assumption is that more examples will come to light.
