Russian hacker has sent a note to the windows defender team. It’s discovered by a French analyst while analyzing the variant of the Zlob Trojan.
The original note below.
    “For Windows Defender’s Team:
    I saw your post in the blog (10-Oct-2008) about my previous message.
    Just want to say ‘Hello’ from Russia.
    You are really good guys. It was a surprise for me that Microsoft can respond on threats so fast.
    I can’t sign here now (he-he, sorry), how it was some years ago for more seriously vulnerability for all Windows 😉
    Happy New Year, guys, and good luck!
    P.S. BTW, we are closing soon. Not because of your work. :-))
    So, you will not see some of my great 😉 ideas in that family of software.
    Try to search in exploits/shellcodes and rootkits.
    Also, it is funny (probably for you), but Microsoft offered me a job to help improve some of Vista’s protection. It’s not interesting for me, just a life’s irony. “
