Title: Hackers "fix" XP BSoD rootkit
Post by: javajolt on February 18, 2010, 05:32:50 AM

An update released by Microsoft this month (MS10-015) broke XP machines that were infected with the TDL3 rootkit (also known as TDSS and Tidserv and many other names - more info here).

Well, a rootkit that causes crashes is bad for business, so the hackers had an update out in the matter of hours.

It’s one big cat and mouse game between the good guys and the bad guys.
