Looks like botnet market is getting competitive - BOT authors are advertising about its capability even before it is full ready



As per a March 18 update, Zorenium – which first popped up on the scene in January and allegedly also works on Windows and Linux machines – will now run on Apple mobile devices running iOS 5 through iOS 7

The strange part about this article is that Zorenium (Bot) is supposed to be multi-platform and they now claim they can compromise iOS.

The stranger part is no one was able to get a single piece of this code for analysis

Like vendors producing vapour-ware  could this be a vapour-bot?



According to the article:- 

Zorenium is still in beta, but its author claims it has many capabilities, including distributing banking trojans, carrying out distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, form grabbing, and Bitcoin mining, according to the post, which explains how the malware is well-protected against anti-virus and anti-malware solutions.

The bot is also said to feature fake shutdown modules, which trick victims into thinking they are shutting down their hardware. In reality, Zorenium is using fake shutdown images, dropping the device into standby, and delaying the fans to create the illusion the device is off.
