Abstract

“ I was confident it was malicious. And, because no other security lab seemed to detect the file, I picked a name, Troj/MDrop-ELD, wrote a quick detection, and went home.

The next day, we saw a flurry of queries about a "new" piece of malware 'Disttrack'. It turned out that it was the same piece of malware that I had detected the previous night. So one of my colleagues did some more detailed analysis.
