New malicious malware on the prowl

Big news: The anonymous online forum 4chan has been sold to Hiroyuki Nishimura, the founder of hit Japanese-language message board 2channel.

DUBAI: There is no rest for the weary they say; and this is especially true for Kaspersky Lab's Global Research and Analysis Team, which has discovered a new sophisticated wiper malware similar to a previous malware that attacked oil and gas companies in the Middle East. 

Called StoneDrill, the new malware destroys everything on the infected computer, and features advanced anti-detection techniques and espionage tools in its arsenal. In addition to targets in the Middle East, one StoneDrill target has also been discovered in Europe, where wipers used in the Middle East have not previously been spotted in the wild.
