Hello from Russia, talking through code

A malware author responds to Microsoft, which found a message  (which malware researcher S!Ri.URZ posted on his blog) in code of the Zlob trojan.

For Windows Defender's Team:

I saw your post in the blog (10-Oct-2008) about my previous message.

Just want to say 'Hello' from Russia.

You are really good guys.

It was a surprise for me that Microsoft can respond on threats so fast.

I can't sign here now (he-he, sorry), how it was some years ago for more seriously vulnerability for all Windows ;)

Happy New Year, guys and good luck!

P.S. BTW, we are closing soon. Not because of your work. :-))

So, you will not see some of my great ;) ideas in that family of software.

Try to search in exploits/shellcodes and rootkits.

Also, it is funny (probably for you), but Microsoft offered me a job to help

improve some of Vista's protection. It's not interesting for me, just a life's irony.

Maybe all he really wants is woman good with plow.
