Cisco researchers Ben Baker and Alex Chiu have found new malware that destroys a machine's Master Boot Record and home directories if it detects meddling white hats.
The pair from the Borg's TALOS malware probing department say the "Rombertik" malware is designed to steal keystrokes and data and targets Windows users through phishing.
"At a high level, Romberik is a complex piece of malware that is designed to hook into the user’s browser to read credentials and other sensitive information for exfiltration to an attacker controlled server," the pair say in an
advisory.
