[dba-Tech] Hard Drive destroyer

[Jim Lawrence]

I would guess until these type of malware becomes more common place we will get to see how they actually work.

Lol. 
I remember when Sunbelt Software pioneered sandboxing suspicious  items
(Vipre's behavior analysis techniques). It is now a pervasive means of
preventative security in many AVs. I guess every security measure can be
overcome when the money is good enough.

It begs the question will these destroyers automatically detect VMs as
something to freak out about?

PS: I would bet that Kaspersky Labs has a fix for this. <evil grin> ;-)

Our government at work...sign.

A number of government states created such a piece of malware and now it is
out there for everyone to use.

A very interesting article. :-)

Given a recent thread about hard drive issues I thought this may be of some
interest to some of you.
