HUMMINGBAD
I saw tweets about this on twitter yesterday. Sounds extremely malicious and well organized. It's a new malware from an organization called Yingmob in China. Has anyone heard about this and is the Webroot organization keeping us safe from this criminal enterprise?

Considering it has been around since at least last November, I'd be very surprised if Webroot cannot readily detect this.
