Kaspersky Lab - Hackers using Asus software update to spread malware

Kaspersky Lab - Hackers using Asus software update to spread malware: After five months of the software update released by Asus, Kaspersky Lab has reported that Asus unwittingly pushed out malware through its official updates to around half a million computers after hackers compromised the company’s servers.


The report reveals that the hackers only targeted 600 systems, which were searched for by their unique MAC addresses. The attack has been dubbed as a supply-chain attack where malware gets installed in systems through trusted vendor channels. US-based security firm Symantec also confirmed the incident.
