Russian hackers hawked Windows exploit for $4,000 | |

Competing hacker groups in Russia were peddling the exploit code responsible for the Windows Meta File attacks last December for $4,000, according to security company Kaspersky Lab. "One of the purchasers of the exploit is involved in the criminal adware/spyware business," read a Kaspersky Lab quarterly report released this week. "It seems likely that this was how the exploit became public." The WMF flaw unsettled security experts after they found that the virus-writing community discovered the vulnerability before they did. A slew of Trojan programs were written to try and take advantage of the exploit. The British Parliament was attacked by hackers who tried to exploit the WMF flaw. | ||
