   In 140 chars or less, “Gauss is a nation state sponsored banking Trojan which carries a warhead of unknown designation”. Besides stealing various kinds of data from infected Windows machines, it also includes an unknown, encrypted payload which is activated on certain specific system configurations.

   This Kaspersky blog is in FAQ format with links to HTML & PDF data sheets. In a nutshell, as Kaspsersky digs deeper into malware infections in the mid-east they've again come across something they didn't know or expect existed.

   The Mystery of the Encrypted Gauss Payload

   There are many remaining mysteries in the Gauss and Flame stories. For instance, how do people get infected with the malware? Or, what is the purpose of the uniquely named “Palida Narrow” font that Gauss installs?

   Perhaps the most interesting mystery is Gauss’ encrypted warhead... We are asking anyone interested in cryptology and mathematics to join us in solving the mystery and extracting the hidden payload.
