http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/39825?netht=rn_031809&nladnam e=031809 This is the scariest, stealthiest, and most dangerous rootkit I've seen come around since the legendary Blue Pill <http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/18197> ! No, I'm not just trying to sensationalize this or spread fear, uncertainty and doubt. This is serious and represents a massive new security threat for us all. Security Researchers Joanna Rutkowska <http://www.blogger.com/profile/07657268181166351141> and Loic Duflot are planning to release a research paper + exploit code for a new SMM (System Management Mode) rootkit that installs via an Intel(r) CPU caching vulnerability. Joanna, of blue pill fame, <http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/18197> reported this on her blog
