OTX SERVER 2 WINDOWS

Our labs team also discovered that this Windows version had been particularly aggressive. He was able to analyze WireLurker’s command and control infrastructure, and in doing so discovered that there was a Windows-based version of WireLurker that had been operating prior to the OSX version’s discovery. Using features within OTX 2.0 and novel analysis of the malware, Jaime’s research revealed that WireLurker’s presence extended far beyond Apple devices. OTX 2.0 is a generational enhancement of our Open Threat Exchange platform designed to empower security professionals and IT practitioners of all skill levels and resources with the ability to collaboratively build, and defend themselves, with high level threat intelligence. Today we’re excited to reveal this technology with the announcement of the Closed Beta for Open Threat Exchange (or OTX 2.0). Additionally our Chief Scientist, Jaime Blasco, analyzed WireLurker with a new technology that our team has been developing over the past year.

When AlienVault Labs, our research team here at AlienVault, first received information about WireLurker we performed a battery of analysis devised to uncover details about the malware and the infrastructure of those who wielded it. Difficult to detect because of complex obfuscation methods, it was clear to the security community as a whole that WireLurker posed a significant threat to Apple users.īut what the security community didn’t know was that Windows users were also at risk of infection.

WireLurker was unique in being able to attack mobile devices, as the malware was able to compromise Apple iPhones connected to Mac computers infected by malicious applications hiding WireLurker.
