Prevx Team Caught in Scandal

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 13, 2009 -- New Malware Threat Discovered By Small Ohio – Based Tech Firm

A small IT and Web Design firm located in Ohio stumbled upon a new malware threat named Suverasu. After careful inspection of this malicious file, it was apparent that the threat may very well have been created by the same company that offers its removal.

The most alarming is that Jacques Erasmus, Director of Prevx's security team, is also a well documented hacker. "Ex Hacker" is what he calls himself, but we are likely to find that his hacker's days aren't as far in the past as he'd like us to believe.

What is even more ironic is that the release of the Prevx 3.0 anti-virus software was at the beginning of '09 and in great synchrony with the discovery of the Suverasu threat. Now, this wouldn't be the first time that we've seen major software launches follow the discovery of a new threat and it certainly wouldn't be the first time that both the creation of the threat and the discovery of the threat had a lot to do with the marketing of a product.
