The October release of the Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) is directly related to a Coordinated Malware Eradication (CME) initiative led by Novetta and with the help of many other security partners: F-Secure, ThreatConnect, ThreatTrack Security, Volexity, Symantec, Tenable, Cisco, and iSIGHT. Collaboration across private industry is crucial to addressing advanced persistent threats.
The target in this campaign is an advanced persistent threat that served as the infrastructure of actors that launched targeted attacks against multiple organizations around the world. This month, the MSRT along with all of the partners in our Virus Information Alliance program are releasing new coverage for this infrastructure: Win32/Hikiti and some of the related malware families, Win32/Mdmbot, Win32/Moudoor, Win32/Plugx, Win32/Sensode, and Win32/Derusbi.
