Warning! Maggie malware has affected 250 Microsoft users; What should you do?
A new hazardous malware has been found by security researchers, which is targeting Microsoft SQL servers. Sadly, this backdoor malware named Maggie has already contaminated hundreds of Microsoft users all over the world. Security researchers Johann Aydinbas and Axel Wauer from the DCSO CyTec have spotted this malware which is more prevalent in South Korea, India, Vietnam, China, Russia, Thailand, Germany, and the United States. Security experts say that it is controlled through SQL queries that command and interact with the files of the system. The more worrying part is that it doubles as a bridgehead into the server's network environment.
