Hard drive-wiping malware part of new wave of threats targeting South Korea

Hard drive-wiping malware part of new wave of threats targeting South Korea "Trojan.Korhigh, as the new wiper program is called by security firm Symantec, contains the same kind of functionality that simultaneously shut down the networks of a half-dozen banks and broadcasters in March. Like the earlier Jojka malware, Korhigh can permanently destroy stored data and overwrite a hard drive's master boot record, which contains information required for computers to reboot."

Crazy
