MacOS : un malware en cadeau avec le téléchargement d'Handbrake | #Apple #CyberSecurity 

MacOS : un malware en cadeau avec le téléchargement d'Handbrake | #Apple #CyberSecurity  | Apple, Mac, MacOS, iOS4, iPad, iPhone and (in)security... | Scoop.it

Quoi de mieux pour piéger l'utilisateur de se faire passer pour une source légitime ? Des pirates ont ainsi réussi à s'introduire dans les serveurs de l'éditeur d'Handbrake et ont remplacé le logiciel d'encodage vidéo par une version piégée. Du coup, entre le 2 et le 6 mai dernier, si vous avez téléchargé (ou mis à jour) l'application vous avez toutes les chances (une chance sur deux pour être précis) d'avoir obtenu une version corrompue avec un joli malware en cadeau (OSX.PROTON).

 

Afin de vérifier si son Mac est infecté, il suffit d’ouvrir le Moniteur d’activité (localisé dans le dossier 'Utilitaires' d’Applications) et de regarder si le processus 'activity_agent' est en cours d’exécution. Si tel est le cas, cela veut dire que le malware est actif sur la machine.
