La firme de Cupertino a publié une page spéciale Flashback sur son site de support et indique préparer son propre patch. Apple aurait aussi contacté des FAI et des bureaux d'enregistrements pour tenter d'éradiquer le botnet.
Apple sort enfin de son silence. Quelques jours après avoir poussé, sans faire référence à Flashback, une mise à jour de sécurité pour Java sur Mac (voir notre article sur le botnet Flashback), Apple hausse un peu le ton. Et publie sur son site de support une page spécifique au fameux malware qui, d’après Dr.Web, infecterait désormais quelque 655 700 machines. agrandir la photo

Mac fans recently got a little taste of what it's like to be a Windows user. That's right, a virus targeting Mac OS X is making the rounds. The latest stats from security companies tracking the virus put the number of infected Macs at well over half a million. That's nowhere near the level of some Windows viruses, but it's widespread enough to be a concern for Mac users.

Apple is developing a tool to "detect and remove" a Trojan that is believed to have infected around 650,000 Macintosh computers.
It said it is working with internet service providers (ISPs) to disrupt the command network being used by hackers to exploit the malware. Trojans are infections that can expose computers to control by hackers.
It is Apple's first statement on the threat. It issued patches to prevent the malware's installation last week.
The two security updates were released ===> eight weeks after Java's developer Oracle issued a fix for other computer systems. <===

“They told the registrar this [domain] is involved in a malicious scheme. Which would be true if we weren’t the ones controlling it and not doing any harm to users,” says Sharov. “This seems to mean that Apple is not considering our work as a help. It’s just annoying them.”

Consumerization is happening now, but many IT departments simply aren’t prepared to deal with the new challenges and complexities it entails.
With IT managers increasingly urged by CEOs to stop saying ‘no’ and start supporting consumer tools, they need to reappraise their traditional approach. Put simply, IT needs flexible standards – they can’t say no but neither can they say yes to everyone.
Cyber crime is a multi billion dollar industry, funded and resourced like legitimate business operations. The criminal gangs need to know that any investment in their own resources is going to provide a decent return, and the best way of guaranteeing that is by targeting the one large homogenous platform, just as they did with Windows in the 90s. In the mobile world, this means iOS.
What is clear is that Apple is not the panacea for secure, manageable consumer devices in the enterprise that many believe.
