This section focuses on other malware families that have used the current family as a base to develop
their own variants. This usually indicates that the source code of the current family has been made
public at some point, or it has been privately shared or sold.
This section highlights other malware families that contributed to the creation of the current new
family. The original family's source code could have been either forked or "ripped." In malware author
terminology, "ripped" refers to the practice of using another malware's source code to build one's own
variant without giving credit to the original author. Typically, in such cases, the design is altered and
new functions are added.
