Procolored: Printer company serves malware für six months, claims "false positive" warnings
Summary
After the software downloads were taken offline, I contacted Procolored with detailed information about the malware and infected files, and requested an official statement in response to several questions regarding the case: • None How did this happen? • None Advice for potentially affected customers: "For the users who have reported related issues, Procolored engineers have already provided individual support and solutions. Once all software has been thoroughly reviewed and confirmed safe, we will update the website and notify customers through our official channels to download the latest version." Outdated malware with an inactive command-and-control server is not advantageous for any attacker nor does superinfection make sense for this scenario. A far more plausible explanation points to the absence or failure of antivirus scanning on the systems used to compile and distribute the software packages.
