For anyone that uses MikroTik, now is a good time to make sure your firmware
is updated and scan any network admins' windows workstations.

It doesn't seem to be that widely detected so far, but what makes this one
interesting is how long it's remained undetected. And what is perhaps of
interest to this list is that is seems to target mostly Africa (and the
Middle East).

Regards,
Daniel
