TDL4 botnet may be available for rent

ESET's senior research fellow David Harley says that, while his team of researchers have been tracking the TDL4 botnet for some time, they have noticed a new phase in its evolution.

These changes, he noted, may signal that either the team developing the malware has changed or that the developers have started selling a bootkit builder to other cybercriminal groups on a rental basis.

The dropper for the botnet, he asserted, sends copious tracing information to the command-and-control server during the installation of the rootkit onto the system. In the event of any error, he said, it sends a comprehensive error message that gives the malware developers enough information to determine the cause of the fault. All of this, wrote Harley in his latest security posting, suggests that this bot is still under development.
