more research needed. Adi4094 (talk) 08:01, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Having read the conference presentation, it seems that this is a means of attack that has been seen in the wild already (presentation says September 9, though I haven't found a news article about it yet). I bet there's more here - and I bet the attack vector goes by different names, which might be part of the reason it's hard to find material. But it smells notable! Would love some assistance finding out for sure...--Vivisel (talk) 16:37, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. It appears important to me as well; it would be better to tag it as a stub and do a little additional research/expansion. Insorak ♫ talk 20:27, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. According to the one and only source, this is a notable topic. The source appears credible. Let's keep this for now and wait if new sources arrive. If they don't, we should renominate this after some time. Offliner (talk) 18:04, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep/Incubate - Hmm, perhaps we should incubate this article; the topic definitely seems noteworthy, as other editors have attested to, and Symantec is certainly a high-profile name in electronic security. Why not give this article some time? Cocytus [»talk«] 01:32, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
