For more than two decades ESET researchers, today encompassing teams in Europe, Russia, Canada, Latin America and the US worked on hundreds of projects uncovering events related to hackers and other cyber criminals activities. Analysis were done to sophisticated and targeted attacks such as AutoCAD projects stealthy ACAD/Medre.A, military focused Georgian Georbot, the first widely spread Mac trojan dubbed Flashback or the Linux/Cdorked.A apache webserver backdoor, analyzing their methodology and tracking their origins as well as the malware spread, helping users, companies and government institutions around the world to stay and feel protected.
“WeLiveSecurity.com - the new portal will be an effective tool for delivering the latest findings from ESET's global network of security researchers, such as the targeted attacks by data stealing malware in Pakistan recently analyzed by ESET Malware Researcher Jean-Ian Boutin. Exposing the infection strategies used by this malicious code, such as signed binaries and fake email attachments, helps companies and consumers improve their defensive posture”,
says Stephen Cobb, ESET Security Evangelist.
ESET has teamed up with UK technology creative agency Mediablaze to contribute news, how-to and video content to WeLiveSecurity.com. Mediablaze’s talented editorial team comprises some of the most respected technology editors in Europe.
