A meeting between a hacker and a programmer

The AVG programmer did not have an everyday experience.
Diablo3-wp8-400x300 An employee of the popular antivirus was examining a malicious file when he got in touch with its creator in the malicious program's built-in chat application. The hacker asked with some insolence what they were looking for, what they wanted to do with his virus. The "Trojan horse BackDoor.Generic" opened a back door, i.e. provided remote access to AVG's virtual computer. The hacker saw exactly what was happening on the screen of the hacked system and even noted that the researcher did not have a webcam, so he could not see his face. Investigations showed that the hacker was telling the truth.

Hacker and programmer meetingThe conversation then continued, and finally the creator of the Trojan remotely shut down the AVG employee's computer. The malicious application was originally created to allow the hacker to obtain the usernames and passwords of Diablo 3 players. The two executable files, which in theory should have been an instructional video, were hidden in a RAR file. Obviously, it is not a little suspicious here if a video file has the extension ".exe" or can be downloaded compressed.
