Ramnit Malware Back and Better at Avoiding Detection

Quote:
The Ramnit malware family has been given a facelift with new anti-detection capabilities, a troubleshooting module, as well as enhanced encryption and malicious payloads.



Tim Liu of the Microsoft Malware Protection Center said Ramnet resurfaced late last year and its keepers had stripped out all of its infection function and enhanced its botnet functionality.

“Ramnit is a frequently updated threat which gets updated by its developer every day,” Liu wrote in a blogpost yesterday.

Just another reminder how important it is not to reuse passwords. At the least not at accounts where it matters
So as soon as money or personal data is at stake, make sure you have a strong password (including upper and lower case letters and numbers) Something that's hard to guess and easy to remember. A great tip I once got which also withstands the standard wordbook attack: (because it's normally not a word Take a one of your favorite sentences like a significant line from your favorite book and use from every word just the first (or last) letter alternate lower and upper case and you're much safer than with your "recycled" pass already used on umpteen webpages and what not
