I recenti episodi di malware WannaCry e Petya sono stati i primi worm di rete diffusi dopo diversi anni.

Sia WannaCry che Petya includevano quello che è conosciuto come exploit di […]<img alt=”” border=”0″ src=”https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=news.sophos.com&blog=834173&post=40522&subd=sophos&ref=&feed=1″ width=”1″ height=”1″ /><img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sophos/dgdY/~4/KwBu8TIywTQ” height=”1″ width=”1″ alt=””/>

Aber nur wenige sollte die schnelle Verbreitung schockiert haben, insbesondere diejenigen, die sich noch an Attacken wie „Slammer“ und „Conficker“ erinnern. Damals wie heute übertrug sich die Schadsoftware über ungeschützte Microsoft-Schwachstellen. Für diese stand zwar ein Update zum Schließen der Lücke […]<img alt=”” border=”0″ src=”https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=news.sophos.com&blog=834173&post=805&subd=sophos&ref=&feed=1″ width=”1″ height=”1″ /><img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sophos/dgdY/~4/078_-TlpEt0″ height=”1″ width=”1″ alt=””/>
