  9. Did Apple's removal tool actually work? Or maybe the malware changed the DGA? In any case, Flashback infection numbers dropped 90%! 3:38 PM Apr 17th via TweetDeck
  10. Great article by Pierre-Marc of ESET about UUIDs and Flashback botnet size is.gd/JyABcN 2:18 AM Apr 15th via TweetDeck

  13. @briankrebs Apple are acting like Microsoft did 10 years ago (and to some extent still does..). 1:00 PM Apr 12th via TweetDeck in reply to briankrebs
  14. @b_sharov @hexminer yes, but having an online checker with false positives is a bit problematic, don't you think? 12:42 PM Apr 12th via TweetDeck in reply to b_sharov
  15. @Schouw @Jindroush There are many cases of same UUID, different variant version (sv), and different IP addresses over a short period of time 3:14 PM Apr 11th via TweetDeck in reply to Schouw
  16. @Schouw still working on that. Basically, there are UUIDs which are shared amongst different machines with similar HW (mostly Intel based). 2:47 PM Apr 11th via TweetDeck in reply to Schouw
  17. Counting unique UUIDs is not enough! The real number of #Flashback infected OSX machines is more than mentioned. Our estimation is 900K+ 1:52 PM Apr 11th via TweetDeck
  18. @dguido Why do you think a malware downloader is useless? PPI services can be used for targeted attacks as well... 11:49 AM Apr 11th via TweetDeck in reply to dguido
  19. @gollmann I liked your Dubai example. This is indeed the case for most "real" APTs. They are hidden behind proxy/botnet/htran/etc. 10:26 AM Apr 11th via Twitter for iPhone in reply to gollmann
