Hey guys. I had a quick look but couldn't find an article regarding this.
I am looking at a long shot here (!!!), a long shot that I find would be in its place and help a lot of us. AV companies and others drive me nuts with their made up names of "new malware with evasive techniques from outer space". I understand they come up with their own malware names because they profit from it, and they don't Google before they publish their "new findings". A lot of people I talk to can't separate Feodo, Cridex, Emotet, Bugat, Dridex etc since "they are either all the same or all completely different"...

So... How about making a sticky with malware names and their aliases? If you know of an already existing source/list then please share it.

Oh the irony. It is not like the sticky is placed first on this forum... Sorry for not looking properly :oops:
Thanks for the VGrep source. How reliable is it compared to other sources? Frequent updates?
