Dirt Jumper Caught in the Act
By Curt WilsonIn late July 2011, a specific piece of malware came to our attention.

One of these was a gaming website, the other involved in selling a popular smartphone. Further research determined that this malware was also used in attacks on yet another Russian gaming site, test attacks on various other sites, attacks on a large corporations load balancer, and a damaging attack on a Russian electronic trading platform.
