- Gianteye 16y agoIt's completely news to me, but I don't have strong ties to the infosec world. This could be standard practice as far as I know. Is it usual to find analysis/info traders doing this brand of malicious software injection? Are a portion of active worms and rootkits used today derivations of tools built by infosec companies?
