Today Kaspersky Lab’s team of experts published a detailed research report that analyses a sustained cyberespionage campaign conducted by the cybercriminal organisation known as “Winnti.”According to Kaspersky Lab’s report, the Winnti group has been attacking companies in the online gaming industry since 2009 and is currently still active. The group’s objectives are stealing digital certificates signed by legitimate software vendors in addition to intellectual property theft, including the source code of online game projects. The first incident that drew attention to the Winnti group’s malicious activities occurred in the autumn of 2011, when a malicious Trojan was detected on a large number of end-user computers across the globe. The clear link between all of the infected computers is that that they were used to play a popular online game. Shortly after the incident, details emerged that the malicious program which had infected the users’ computers was part of a regular update from the gaming company’s official server. Infected users and members of the gaming community suspected the computer game publisher was installing the malware to spy on its customers. However, it later became clear that the malicious program was installed on the players’ computers by accident, and the cybercriminals were actually

Abingdon, UK, 9th April 2013 - Although there are dedicated technologies which can automatically download and install updates, these are rarely used – even by companies that have implemented client system management tools. Only 35 per cent of all companies automatically install updates, according to a November 2012 study by market research specialists B2B International. Meanwhile, cybercriminals often use unpatched vulnerabilities in outdated software to penetrate a company’s IT infrastructure.Cybercriminals use a popular tool – exploits – to achieve these goals. Exploits are malicious objects that use vulnerabilities in operating systems and applications to infect computers. These exploits are often used to launch attacks on companies since even corporate security solutions often struggle to detect and destroy them. A good way to forestall threats is to eliminate vulnerabilities as fast as possible by installing software patches. However, it can be difficult for many companies to install updates promptly on a large number of workstations.In November 2012, B2B International surveyed over 5,000 high-ranking IT managers working for different companies all over the world on behalf of Kaspersky Lab. Among other questions, the study asked about the use of any technology to automatically install updates on corporate workstations. The findings were surprising:
