Computer virus likely to crash all computers worldwide.
Belorussian specialists from company “Virus Blokada” found new virus last week. That virus was assigned to the family of “hardware viruses” because of it's main aim – destruction of computer's hardware.
There were no hardware viruses for many years. The last was famous “Chernobyl”. And today we can see new generation of hardware viruses. Our hero of this article got name - “Fukusima” for its destructive force.
The virus was distributed via torrent-trackers. Some popular software programs were injected with it. This injected software was published in most famous trackers such as “ThePiratBay”, “RuTor” and others. Because of popularity of injected software this virus has more 300 million copies and how said specialist from “Virus Blokada”: “This virus can destroy all computers worldwide if all anti-virus companies will not unite and will not find antidote together”.
This example of hacker's skill has heavy system of defense. Code obfuscation, detection of virtual machine, and others. That virus penetrates the computer and substitutes system libraries. Its astonished methods of code obfuscation help it lurk from anti-virus signature scan. Its brilliant rootkit technologies defend it from an heuristic scan. Specialists of “Virus Blokada” have been tried to deobfuscate and disassemble virus for five days and only yesterday they could deactivate first defense level.
How does it virus work?
When this virus penetrates the computer it decreases power of fan and changes voltage of the motherboard. This actions lead to overheating central processor and processors on the video card and after that this element are deteriorating.
This virus is one of the most terrible viruses in computers' history and on this example we can see how torrents help to distribute them.
We hope that specialists from all anti-virus companies will unite and serve our computers.
