This is not the first malware to use the Go language. Here is the first, from 2012: http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/malware-uses-google-go-language http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/malware-uses-google-go... i believe at the same time symantec decided to block every binary compiled with Go's compiler. because that was easiest.
