The FBI has its eye on malware and is willing to pay to collect it. In a recent listing on the Federal Business Opportunities website, the bureaus Investigative Analysis Unit (IAU) has invited security vendors to give quotes on malicious software. While the listing does not give hard specifics on how this software might be implemented, the FBI writes that it needs the malware to gain a global awareness of the malware threat. According to the document that accompanies the listing, the IAUs purpose is to aid FBI investigations by providing technical support and analysis on computers, networks, and malicious software.
