Symantec Focused on Split?

As Symantec finally realizes that Security + Storage does not equal a valid business model and thereby prepares for their upcoming split, we at ESPO ask a question - is Symantec focused on Wall Street or your security?  Consider the following:

- An ~80KB M$ Word doc with malicious macro is traversing the Internet today with a subject line of "Debit".  The Websense File Sandbox report can be found here.  Note how the malware performs a Zeus-like HTTP POST to a malware site in Germany.

- Convinced it's a bad file that you wouldn't want your Finance Dept receiving?  Convinced that your Symantec AV has you covered??  May want to think again regarding that second question:

In closing, it's a nice to see McAfee catching this latest variant as we've beaten up on them recently.  However, we still strongly advise clients put a File Sandboxing solution in place ASAP.
