Virus writers continue targeting Microsoft's latest ideas

Another piece of malware for MS Powershell.

Another piece of malware for Microsoft's Powershell is making the news. The script virus exploits the new command shell, formerly known as Monad and originally planned to be part of the Vista release. Cibyz is described as 'experimental' and 'proof of concept', which can usually be taken to mean it doesn't really work. The same authors were also behind last year's Damon/Danom script, which kicked up controversy between Microsoft and F-Secure.
