Malware has come a long way since it consisted mostly of small-scale (if prolific) nuisances perpetrated by script kiddies. Today, it’s increasingly being created by professional programmers and managed by international criminal organisations. This talk looks at the methods and technology employed by the professional malware industry, which is turning out “product” that matches (and in some cases even exceeds) the sophistication of standard commercial software, but with far more sinister applications.
