New version of Backoff detected, malware variant dubbed 'ROM'

"Backoff – malware that was confirmed to be on the systems of Dairy Queen last month, and which may have been responsible for breaches impacting Target and SUPERVALU – is estimated to have infected over 1,000 U.S. businesses, the Secret Service has said. An increase in Backoff infections this year also prompted the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) to publish a bulletin urging merchants to contact their AV provider and ensure their software detects the malware."
