May 6, 2008 Poison Ivy EXE RSIS Commentary from RSISPubllcation@NTU.EDU.SG


Posted on March 6, 2010
Here is a blast from the past.  The message contains a zip file with a Poison Ivy executable - a fairly unsophisticated method of delivery, comparing to the methods we see these days. I found the fact that the message importance is set to low a bit unusual and amusing. Note the date of the attack - 2008.
