MALWARE SAMPLES USED IN TARGETED ATTACKS

TORONTO -- Security researchers demonstrated malware samples used in
recent targeted attacks during a session Tuesday at the SecTor 2010
conference. These malware samples, through the use of simple,
automated processes within the code, were able to evade antivirus
detection and dupe computer forensics investigations.

The researchers, members of Trustwave's Spiderlabs forensics and
pen-testing teams, investigated more than 200 security incidents
worldwide during the last year, collecting hundreds of malware
samples; on Tuesday, they demonstrated a Windows credential stealer,
a network rootkit and a client-side PDF attack.
