Recycle everything – Even Malware!!!!!

FUD Crypters Recycling Old Malware – https://www.technewsworld.com/perl/section/cyber-security

This article was quite interesting. I bet the hacker got the idea of recycling old malware from the fact that recycling is motivated and promoted in almost every product. He/She might have been drinking a bottle of coke and say the word recycle and then the idea of recycling malware was thought of. Every thing has two sides is indeed true!!!!

Anyway, the article says that this is happening not because crypters are an entirely new phenomenon, but because there’s a sophistication and “ease of use” threshold which appears to have been crossed and What’s happening, from a certain perspective, is the automation of evasion, along with other elements of the malware “supply chain.”
