''
Flashback'' trojan virus that attacked at least 600 000 Mac was found last
week, the trojan is able to steal passwords and other personal data. This
discovery encouraged Apple to release updates Java for OS X users can remove
some of the common variants of the virus, but it was not completed until the
issue there.
Securelist Saturday found another Mac trojan
that also spreads by exploiting the Java. Malware, called Backdoor.OSX.SabPub,
can take a screenshot of the Mac user, execute commands on infected machines
and connect to remote Web sites to send data. It is not clear how users
infected with a trojan, but due to the low number of cases this trojan and
backdoor functionality, Securelist speculate that it is most likely to be used
in targeted attacks, or are targeted, may be launched via email that contains a
URL that points to one of two websites do hosting exploits.
