It seems there's somewhat of a peak of reports on malware that scans for vulnerabilities that is currently not detected by the Anti-Virus products.

We had a call for malware in this spot, and we got quite a set sent to us.

There's no way to get an overview of it in the short time we have but so far it's clear most people sending malware in aren't seeing the same stuff at all.

We do encourage readers to send samples to the anti-virus vendors as they are creating the signatures to protect us all. Personally I mostly use virustotal to submit samples in a vendor independent way. I can only try to encourage anti-virus vendors to participate in such initiatives.

One of the more troubling tings might be a worm that tries to inject code in popular open source packages.
