The malware was created using the UEFI kernel, which is built on top of the Windows kernel and that is why it is so easy to install.

"The malware is a way to make the software available without the need for any prior knowledge of Windows," said Jim Mortensen, an ESET researcher who participated in the recent conference.

Since the malware started appearing in February, it has been detected in at least 40 countries, including Ukraine, Russia, China, Estonia, and the United States. ESET has identified more than 70 malicious software versions and analyzed more than 500,000 source files.

The malware has been detected in seven countries, including Ukraine, Russia, China, Estonia, and the United States. According to the analysis, the malware was distributed by a Russian group that is believed to have been responsible for a number of attacks on DNC computers in the past four months. The group has been associated with the Russian-linked Cyber-Assault group, a new Russian cyber-defense group, which has been working within the U.S. government to disrupt Russian internet and mobile networks.

It was not clear whether the malware was responsible for the DNC or for its members, but the group claimed responsibility for the attack and said it was aware of the attack being carried out.

Since the malware is primarily targeted at Democratic Party computers, it should be noted that the attackers have been able to gain access to the same computers for a while.

"There's some really serious vulnerability in the firmware that we have not been able to identify with previous attacks. In fact, it's being used from a more recent exploit," said Mortensen.

Vulnerability analyses revealed that the malware was made up of two parts with a different set of malicious code—both of which were embedded in firmware from the software on the DNC computers. The majority of the malware was found in two of the four firmware versions and was able to install the malware on the machines without any of the software being exposed.

The attack appears to have started on August 2nd, and the group has been identified as the same group that has been responsible for several other attacks, including the DNC attack.

According to the report, the malware was spotted in more than 90 countries, including Ukraine, Russia, China, Estonia, and the United States. In eight of the nine countries, the group has been identified as the same group, according to ESET.

Vulnerabilities were found within the malware in at least 41 countries. The malware was detected by ESET
