Jan 20 CVE-2009-4324 Chinese cyberattack from spoofed XXXXXXXXXX@gwu.edu 20 Jan 2010 14:26:00 -0000

This is my favorite of all times, they have some nerve. I know the George Washington University did not move to China yet. Plus we already received his file yesterday.

Update Jan 21. F-Secure analysts reported that this pdf attachment (or identical file they got)  drops Acrobat.exe (md5: 72170fc42ae1ca8a838843a55e293435), which gets detected as W32/PoisonIvy.NQ, aka Poison Ivy RAT.

Colleagues,

Attached is a short piece I just wrote for the Far Eastern Economic Review about Chinese cyberattack. I hope you find it interesting.

If you have any good idea / comments,  are warmly welcome to feedback.

Best,

David
