Art, automobiles, and wine are often associated with things that appreciate in value as they age. Malware isn't usually thought of this way, as most threat actors strive to keep their tools as current as possible with new lures and exploitation techniques.
However, every once in a while, a campaign appears that turns this paradigm on its head. FortiGuard Labs came across one such recent campaign using the MyDoom worm.
MyDoom (also known as Novarg and Mimail) was first discovered back in 2004. And while it has seen some updates and modifications since its introduction, it is an anachronism in the malware world that continues to operate well beyond expectations.
