A new rootkit-based malware named Scranos is causing havoc in the wild. It is the first known malware that automatically subscribes logged-in Google accounts to specific Youtube channels that the command and control center dictates. The malware is compatible with mainstream browsers, which means it can auto-subscribe the user to those channels in hopes of better income stream. Bitdefender is advising people to be careful when downloading random video playback and e-book reader apps.”]
