South Korean organizations are being targeted in attacks with a new stealthy backdoor program that gives attackers full access to infected computers.
The malware has been dubbed Duuzer and while it's not exclusively used against targets in South Korea, it does seem that the hacker group behind it have a preference for that country's manufacturing industry, according to security firm Symantec.
Duuzer was designed to work on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows versions and opens a back door through which attackers can gather system information; create, list and kill processes; access, modify and delete files; execute commands and more.

Agree, if ever there was a reason for big companies to ditch Windows forever, this is it.

Yeh, but trying to tell executives not to use Microsoft products because they are so vulnerable to exploits that dozens of businesses earn their keep selling virus and malware fixing probrams - is like telling a kid not to eat candy as dozens of dentists and doctors earn their keep selling cavity fills and diabetes treatment.
As long as somebody else keeps bailing them out of it, they will continue to do it. They are really addicted to handshakes with their business reps.
