Uh-Oh! More Virus Problems on the way? Maybe…

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it seems some unnamed company has made a significant boo boo. This “mistake” is basically a rootkit that potentially opens up a huge backdoor. This is very bad news indeed. At this point no one is saying who but it is hinted that it is an “an unnamed Enterprise Information Security (EIS) suite.” Basically Enterprise refers to, well straight from the article, “Who are the lucky customers who bought/will buy the software that harbors this stealthy little stowaway? Enterprises. Big companies, who spend big bucks to develop and protect big secrets.”
Will this affect consumers? Possibly. Its whether or not the same Enterprise suite has similar programming or is perhaps the same platform whether Enterprise or consumer level. This could potentially affect millions of computers. I guess it will depend on whether a fix can come before someone bad discovers it. There are rumors that these types of “holes” are not necessarily a mistake. In fact “The best part is that Trend Micro traced the developer to an unnamed Chinese company” China not coincidentally has been actively involved with cyber warfare with the US and other companies for quite some time, with each year seeing the level of attack increasing. To me and probably others this is no surprise that “they” would attempt something on this level. It is no secret that the Chinese government actively endorses hackers and hacking on a criminal level as well as with their military.
