OVERVIEW

Polymorphic Malware Spawning Pseudo-Operating System Processes

Heimdal™ Security’s cybercrime research unit has recently uncovered a criminal infrastructure that employs multiple domains in order to release malware into the wild. Despite the domains being taken offline, per request, the malicious software distributed through them appears to elude any known simple behavioral-based detection methodology. This type of malicious activity, which has yet to be classified, focuses on machines running on multi-core architecture.
