On an NTFS partition I find that the initial 8 sectors of
the MFT and the entirety (8 sectors) of the MFT mirror have
been overwritten by a repeated pattern - FF7FFFF FFFFFFFF.

Seems intentional. Just wondering if anyone knows if that is
characteristic of the payload of any known malware.

Tks,

Bob

None that I've heard any talk about lately, but then you may
be the early warning system.
