Virus Stuxnet created more than a year ago

Security researchers have investigated Stuxnet, a sophisticated computer virus created by the theft of trade secrets, show that has presided over a much longer period than was earlier thought. No one knew much about the malicious program until mid-July 2010, when the researchers in Minsk, Belarus (Eastern Europe) based security firm VirusBlockAda detected. The virus is selected in the advanced technology and the computers used for targeting industrial control power plants and factories. Now security researchers from Symantec Corp. claim they have detected a previous version of Stuxnet, held in June 2009 and subsequently developed a more sophisticated H1-2010th On the other hand, when the building was completed Stuxnet includes the creator of new programs, helping to reproduce in the middle of the USB devices without interaction from the victim. In addition, the author even managed to grab Stuxnet encryption keys JMicron Technology Corp., Realtek Semiconductor Corp., owned by large corporations. With these keys, the malicious code can be digitally signed, which made it harder for antivirus engines to detect. In Liam O Murchu, security researcher with Symantec malware had been under continuous development, the authors introduced additional feats, and encryption components. InformationWeek published this in the News August 5, 2010. One of the most fascinating discoveries is that the latest Symantec version Stuxnet is small compared to the first that despite the recent sample properties has increased. According to O Murchu, threats tend to get larger over time, so the fact that the latest version includes additional resources (14-11) are not uncommon. However, it is surprising Stuxnet later in smaller sizes than before, “he adds. While security researchers in their speeches, many years that these attacks are directed. Stuxnet development tracks the presence of light, if not the intention of the apparent success of the virus. Therefore, Web surfers maintain caution in connection with activities related to harmful malware and display all programs and all the important safety programs to avert the threat.
