Playing the Prophet
When I wrote this for the Internet Storm Center I was speaking in hypotheticals (the spyware part). Turn out in less than 2 weeks I was proved right. this story out of Israel (as well as this, and this, hat tip: Arik's Blog) shows a real-life example of the theory at work. I'm working on getting to code and certainly more detailed information, but the upshot is that malware was highly customized and targetted for corporate espionage purposes. It was going on for over a year before being caught, and I'm sure it is (1) going on at other locations from other attackers, and (2) we'll see more of it.
