VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE

 

Bitdefender has released Flamer attack toolkit, a tool to find and remove the most complex, dangerous spy tool.

Flamer, also known as Skywiper, can steal data, copy passwords, record voice conversations, create screen captures, and even probe Bluetooth devices near the infected computer. The toolkit, which is thought to have spawned past espionage tools such as Stuxnet and Duqu, can spread through local networks or on removable drives such as USB sticks.

"Flamer is the scariest cyber espionage tool we have yet seen. It goes places where other spyware doesn't go, retrieves information others don't retrieve, and ensures the infected computer has no privacy whatsoever. Luckily, the Bitdefender removal tool makes it easy to eliminate from your computer," said Catalin Cosoi, Chief Security Researcher, Bitdefender.
