Stony Stevenson writes to tell us that in a recent interview, Marc
Henauer has revealed that security researchers are falling behind now
that malware is starting to be able to [0]change its signature every few
hours. “Unfortunately the know-how and construction kits used to create
this shape-shifting threat are now readily available and are unleashing a
wave of malware based on social engineering techniques. [...] Sweeney
believes that a non rules-based monitoring process must be set up to
defend all ingress and egress points covering SMTP, DNS, HTTP(s), IM
etc.”
