A new version of the Destover “wiper” malware has been discovered that is signed using a legitimate digital certificate from Sony. While the certificate is authentic, a security researcher says the latest version of malware is a hoax. Kaspersky Lab has clarified that it hasn’t seen a sample of the latest Destover circulating in the wild, but says it was important to sound related warnings nevertheless. Separate evidence has emerged that Sony Pictures Entertainment was targeted days before the attack on Nov. 24, suggesting a criminal gang was behind the attack.”]
