Dan Goodin, writing at ArsTechnica, provides us with the surreptitious history of the malice-filled code-miscreant APT monikered Slingshot; of which, is apparently an alternatative mwthod of describing the devil’s offspring in code-complete form. More, here.
“The researchers still don’t know precisely how Slingshot initially infected all its targets. In several cases, however, Slingshot operators got access to routers made by Latvian manufacturer MikroTik and planted a malicious code in it.” – via Dan Goodin, slaving away over a sizziling keyboard at ArsTechica
