Kaspersky: Hackers have been exhausted

Security firm Kaspersky Lab said the global hacker community had "exhausted" the idea of ​​creating new types of malware.

Kaspersky's newly published research report said the development of malware between July and September this year still shows that the global hacker community is continuing to research and develop code. platform for new malware generations.

However, Kaspersky argues that the "new platform" is unlikely to become a reality as it is difficult to become new malware that could cause significant damage.

Source: imageshackI Alex Gostev - senior analyst of Kaspersky Lab - said: " The mainstream development trend of malware this year has clearly shown the fact that hackers have exhausted new ideas. in programming new malware ".

" Now virus programmers are" squeezing their feet "to create new malware source platforms to protect their" work "from new security technologies ."

" But unfortunately" their new works "so far have not been possible. Until now we have not been able to witness any malicious software capable of causing damage to Millions of dollars like Klez, Mydoom, Lovesan or Sasser have done it before , "Gostev said.

Kaspersky's report assesses the "malware world" is now just a mixture of temporary interests and malicious code-programming techniques - similar to the way it rises and then sinks again. oblivion of the "kidnapping" virus in the past year.

Gostev experts say the battle between virus programmers and the global anti-virus community is going into "secret".

" The status of security companies is not better than the virus programmers at all. They themselves are working with the highest effort and the fastest speed they can resist all threats. In other words, they have reached the limit of technology . "

" But virus programmers can say they accept the security vendor's response to the emergence of a new malware. That time is enough for them to succeed. tell . "

Statistics show that security companies now take a few minutes to a few hours to find a solution to prevent a new type of malware.
