On the night the November 7th there was a massive attack against Kaspersky Labs Web server resulting in a group of hackers sending subscribers of the Kaspersky Labs e-mail newsletter a message containing the recently discovered "Bridex" worm.
"During the last few years Kaspersky Labs has grown to become one of the leading virus experts and this status has attracted much attention from hackers resulting in daily attempts to penetrate of defences", said Eugene Kaspersky, Head of Anti-Virus Research. "Currently we are conducting an investigation to reveal the sources of this attack and are taking the necessary measures with our security system to ensure that this type of attack will never succeed in the future."
