Avoiding detection is generally a top priority for any malicious code developer, but the creators of the newly discovered "Furtim" truly appear to have gone the extra mile to ensure that their malware flies under the radar.

Cyphort Labs spotted a new Angler Exploit campaign that has already infected at least 19 websites.

Researchers have discovered a malware-based APT dating back to 2008 that at least appears to target political enemies of Ukraine, including pro-Russia separatists in the disputed eastern region of the country.

A variant of the malware family Acecard was detected in the Google Play store by researchers at Lookout.

A click-fraud botnet dubbed "Redirector.Paco Trojan" has infected 900,000 IPs worldwide.
