Really interesting article in eWeek yesterday from Ryan Naraine:
Where are Rootkits Coming From?
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1897728,00.asp
Cites research from F-Secure and Microsoft citing increased detections of simple rootkits which can be cut/pasted into worms and bots, as well as other lovely apps, I'm sure.
F-Secure sees a lot of a 'simple' rootkit called FU but is more worried about rootkits like HackerDefender (Backdoor.Win32.HacDef) which is used on corporate servers and can create far more havoc.
