DESCRIPTION:Levente BUTTYAN\, Budapest University of Technology and Econom
 ics\nInformation stealing malware has been increasingly used in recent yea
 rs in targeted cyber espionage activities. We will discuss in details Duqu
  and Flame as examples\, and touch upon several other malware used in simi
 lar attacks. The common in these attacks is that they all targeted importa
 nt organizations\, they were able to remain undetected by traditional secu
 rity mechanisms for years\, and they used advanced infection techniques\, 
 often exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities in systems. After analysing some
  of the unique technical charactersitics of these attacks\, we identify th
 e challenges that they represent for the computer security community. Amon
 g other things\, we discuss the problems of information asymmetry between 
 attackers and defenders\, the problems with code signing\, and the problem
 s of sharing incident related information.
