Everything about Sality
2003 computer malware
Sality is the classification for a family of malicious software (malware) infecting Microsoft Windows system files. Sality was first discovered in 2003 and has advanced into a dynamic, enduring, full-featured form of malicious code. Systems infected with Sality may communicate over a peer-to-peer (P2P) network to form a botnet to relay spam, proxy communications, exfiltrate sensitive data, compromise web servers, and/or coordinate distributed computing tasks to process intensive tasks. Since 2010, certain variants of Sality have also incorporated rootkit functions as part of an ongoing evolution of the malware family. Because of its continued development and capabilities, Sality is considered one of the most complex and formidable forms of malware to date. Wikipedia →
