After the attack on Sony Pictures, it is the FBI to warn about a dangerous malware circulating on the Internet.
It is worth noting that the attack on Sony Pictures was particularly strong and several days after the discovery that its information infrastructure had been hit, it continues, according to Reuters, to face problems. A large volume of data from Sony Pictures has been stolen, including sensitive data, as well as entire movies that leaked onto pirate networks.
The FBI warned American businesses, with a five-page briefing about a particularly dangerous malware that can infiltrate business computers and conduct data espionage. The malware can also shut down and render the victims' computers inoperative, so that one cannot regain control of the data stored there locally.
FBI warned American businesses to upgrade the security software they use and also advised IT departments of companies to be on guard for the possibility of their systems being infected by dangerous malware that is said to be targeting the US side.
It is noteworthy that the Hacking attack that took place at Sony Pictures is linked to North Korea. The FBI avoided naming Sony Pictures in its report, but the timing of its warning release shows that it is the first victim of this malware.
