[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1073758, member: 32260"] I think that the Madiant researchers tried to show a novel way of abusing legal websites that can be pretty hard to detect. So, the payloads [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]can survive undetected on the web and can be accessed by malware[/COLOR][/B]. Users cannot be infected by visiting the abused websites, but those legal websites can be a part of a successful attack. In this way, the malicious code is not stored in the initial malware and the initial malware [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]does not contain malicious URLs[/B][/COLOR]. The code is updated (after execution) from a legal website. Such malware has a great chance of bypassing AV detection. [/QUOTE]
