New tool to detect Aurora malware behind Google hack
Security vendor HBGary has released a free software tool that can remove "Aurora" malware, linked to corporate espionage at more than 30 companies.
Called the Aurora Inoculation Shot, this utility will remotely scan Windows machines over the network for signs of Aurora and can remove the malicious software as well. It uses the Windows Management Instrumentation services to carry out the inoculation.
Although Aurora has been linked to attacks on just 34 companies, the software has captured the attention of corporate executives, because some believe that is connected to a widespread industrial espionage campaign originating from China.
