Some of you probably already know that CME - the Common Malware Enumeration - list went live yesterday. Anybody who follows malware research will appreciate the significance of this; the fact is that trying to figure out which malware is which is seriously problematic when different vedors call it different names, and there's no unifying standard. Hopefully, this list will do for malware what the CVE list did for vulnerabilities. So, all hail the CME - it's a new era for sure.
But, of course, nothing's ever unanimous... Some folks over at Trend don't agree with the whole project and say that the CME list will just make everything worse. One wonders why, if this is the Trend position, they are spending time and resources to be on the editorial board.
