Neosploit, the notorious hacker exploit kit that some thought had been
retired months ago, has not only returned from the dead, but is
responsible for a dramatic increase in attacks, a security researcher
claimed today.

"Neosploit's back," said Ian Amit, director of security research at
Aladdin Knowledge Systems Inc.

The accounts of its demise last summer had been a ruse, he argued. "When
you're feeling that kind of heat," Amit said, referring to the attention
Neosploit had received from both researchers and authorities, "you want
to shake those guys off your back. [The talk about quitting] only helped
them go under the radar."
