The code of another worm has been dumped online, security researchers from Recorded Future found. It seems that over the past several months, the Houdini worm has been posted hundreds of time on paste sites.
Houdini, also known as H-Worm, has been around for about four years. Back in 2014, it was reportedly used in attack campaigns in the Asia-Pacific region, while last year it was associated with an espionage campaign in the Middle East.
According to a blog post signed by the security researchers from Recorded Future, they noticed an increase in malicious Visual Basic scripts on paste sites. After looking closer into the situation, they figured that most of these scripts were actually Houdini's code.
What's more, it seems that a single individual was behind all these dumps.
