The tool's website is being EFF'd. (hah!)

NB: I haven't read about the technical features of the tool.

It probably uses some kind of signature mechanism to identify malware.

...Surely the authors realize that they've just drawn a line in the sand against an APT. The biggest one ever.

Their tool and signature updates are presumably freely available online.

Have fun keeping those sigs up to date, tool authors!

You'd have been better off passing it around to journalists only via sneakernet and simply not talking about it.
