Botnet with reference to SANS
In a lot of the malware that comes across ISC, the author leave in some kind of signature or message. This week, we have received report of a botnet malware with reference to SANS (hidden in the code), the message is similar to the following,
You better f##k off SANS.org especially that Johannes Ullrich (jullrich@XXX, XXX-XXX-XXXX) and Kevin Hong (khong@XXX.kr, +XX-X-XX-XXX). I really don't have anything against you, just p##s off alright?
The author of the malware also registered 'sans-security.org' (now defunct)
The binary is a Vanbot variant. At the time of writing, Virustotal has the following to say about the malware.

Reminder of our emergency URL
Just like any security minded organization, ISC have done our own emergency preparedness work. In situations where our main website cannot be accessed, we will be turning to alternative location (separate hosting location), iscems.dshield.org/index.txt
We suggest you keep this page bookmarked and keep it handy just in case if anything ever happens. If we ever need to broadcast message from our alternative site, the messages would be PGP signed.
Let's hope we never need to use the alternative site...... But we are never really sure.
