Intego, a Mac security company, was the first to report seeing a new Mac Trojan that attempts to create a backdoor on its victim’s system. The article indicates this attack appears to be a targeted attack by an unknown delivery mechanism. Intego reported that the command and control (C&C) server appeared to be down at the time of the article. During their testing, the Trojan attempted to download an image that implied links to the Syrian Electronic Army. We advise our Mac users to review the article closely for more details. In some cases, Gatekeeper may issue an alert should a user attempt to download the Trojan. We highly advise that all operating system and application patches as well as anti-virus definition files are at their latest versions. Readers should also be wary of unsolicited emails with attachments. Applications should only be downloaded from trusted, known sources.
