The need for constant protection measures in the field of information security

24. May 2017

The National CERT of the Republic of Serbia (SRB-CERT) is informing all computer and mobile device users that there is the need for constant protection measures in the field of information security and caution when accessing unknown content on the Internet.

Information security threats are frequent and one of the active worms is ''EternalRocks'' that is spreading via SMB (Server Message Block) protocol. Unlike ransomware ''WannaCry'' this worm does not have the ''kill switch'' function that can slow down the spread. It uses 7 NSA tools.

There are very few devices infected with ''EternalRocks'' worm but the situation can change very quickly. As the purpose of this worm remains unknown we assumed that these are preparations for starting malicious activities in the future.
