One of the leading global cyber security provider company is #Kaspersky. They are providing Antivirus, Internet Security and Pure as their services. Recently a breach has been noticed on Kaspersky Lab network.
While testing a malware against their network they have found that there has been a breach in the network. The breach implants a malware on the network.
The malware that has been implanted is related to the #Duqu family of malware. It has been integrated with the MSI (Microsoft Software Installer) which is used to install softwares on the remote systems.
#Kaspersky CEO said that the attack was more sophisticated that the attack was not caught by any of the security mechanisms. After analysis they have reported that it includes three zero day exploits which are unknown.
The malware dint change any file settings or left any file in the system thus makes it harder to detect. CEO also added that it may related to the 2011 Duqu attack that has been carried out.
Kaspersky CEO also reported the three zero day exploits that has been exploited by the malware to Microsoft and they have patched them and the last patch was released on June 9 2015.
It is said that no data has been lost and there is no fear for any clients since there is no loss of data and the attack was believed to be after the research carried out at Kaspersky Labs.
If it is the case for the giant cyber security provider the normal user should be more cautious while doing any activity through Internet.
