New malware discovered in Mac OS X

Kaspersky Lab published a message today saying that a new malware was found in Mac OS X that is spread through compressed file attachments. Costin Raiu from Kaspersky Lab said they used a new MacOS X backdoor to block this new advanced continuous threat or ATP malicious attack. MAC users have to pay attention to it.

At present, the purpose of a new round of APT malicious attacks is unknown. In essence, this attachment induces Mac users to install a virus-carrying MaControl backdoor. It is reported that the virus is an encrypted IP address, which belongs to a server in China.

If you install the software, the malware will open a backdoor channel to allow attackers to execute commands on Mac. Raiu said that considering the popularity of Mac OS X, the number of users attacked in China will continue to increase.
