Laboratory of Cryptography and System Security (Crysys) Budapest University, reported the discovery of related Duqu. "We are very careful to analyze forensic data, from the original incident when Duqu was found," said study leader, Dr. Boldizsar Bencsath.
According to him, they found suspicious files and further analyzed. Bencsath revealed, "In one case, we were able to prove that the file contains the installer Duqu that uses zero-day exploits."
Exploitation is a zero-day threats by utilizing computer software errors, which were not previously known to allow an attacker to gain secret access rights.
