Someone with full Sophos antivirus license, please escalate to Sophos

Hey guys,

I was doing a little research/digging of my own into the Target attacks.  Just browsing the web I came across a report from securework, hosted on Krebs site that goes over the attack and related variants to the attack.

On page 6 of the attached link, it gives the md5 hashes of some of the malware used during the target attack, ie.  4d445b11f9cc3334a4925a7ae5ebb2b7 and 7f1e4548790e7d93611769439a8b39f2

(page 6 has the md5 hashes)

I know that Sophos has access to these files as I believe all participants in the google virustotal service do, so access to these files should not be a problem.

Sorry for asking on here guys, but I have tried in the past and given up on submitting info like this to companies as they literally ignore you unless you have some sort of service agreement purchased through them, despite the fact that these samples are related to the target attack.

So, if anyone with better "access" to Sophos than I have could please forward this information along, it would be appreciated.

Thanks

P.S.  Sorry for posting this here guys, I have no idea how else to pass this info along to Sophos labs.



Edit:  It appears that Sophos has a write up on one of the files and it would go to reason that Sophos detects both but that virustotal is just throwing an error.  I will just assume at this point that Sophos detects them both.

  • That is part of the issue.  I do not have the files, but Google's virustotal service does and the files are distributed to security companies.

    Normally, I just would not care but, being related to the Target attack and that they are not detecting this malware, it has the potential to be very dangerous.

    The link you provided Bruce, requires a person to have the actual file, not just info where a company can access the file [:(]
  • submit a text file explaining the situation [:)]
