A worm is spreading very fast on the Internet but is not intended to infect users. In contrast, it only takes care of disabling all security tools that hit the road.
The first case of W32 / Gatt virus was discovered early last July. It infects all files with the .idc extension, a format used for scripts of the Interactive Disassembler Pro application. This is a great software used by virus experts to analyze malware.
Source: SecurityLabs However, W32 / Gatt does not "go", secretly downloading other destructive software. Therefore, Symantec rated this malware as the "idea" attack model.
" Perhaps the highest goal of the virus author is just to humiliate the security community, " McAfee analyst Vinoo Thomas shared.
Keep in mind that Gatt is not the first virus launched by hackers to curb the security world. While most professional security experts have a form of defense to limit serious consequences from malware, Thomas warns that this is a "strong" signal for a dangerous trend in the future.
