Flashback Mac Malware Uses Twitter as Command and Control Center - The Mac Security Blog

Flashback Mac Malware Uses Twitter as Command and Control Center - The Mac Security Blog | Apple, Mac, MacOS, iOS4, iPad, iPhone and (in)security... | Scoop.it

The Flashback malware, which Intego pointed out was infecting an increasing number of Macs, turns out to be using a novel technique to operate. Many types of malware use command and control servers that they connect to, in order to get instructions from the creators of the malware.

 

The problem with using these servers is that their IP addresses are specified in the malware code, and the servers can generally be taken down.

Mac OS X sous la menace d’un dangereux cheval de Troie


Flashback revient en version ‘G’, et il pourrait faire mal car ===> il n’a besoin de personne pour s’installer sur votre machine, puis s’emparer de vos identifiants et mots de passe. <===

 

Cette information est l’occasion de rappeler que le Mac d’Apple est aussi la cible des hackers mafieux et que la réputation sécuritaire de l’Unix embarqué comme OS du Mac ne le met pas à l’abri des menaces, alors que nombre d’utilisateurs des produits de la pomme continuent d’affirmer que le système suffit à les protéger.

New OS X malware variant attacks unpatched Macs | ZDNet

New OS X malware variant attacks unpatched Macs | ZDNet | Apple, Mac, MacOS, iOS4, iPad, iPhone and (in)security... | Scoop.it

A new malware variant sets out to punish those who haven’t been keeping up to date with updates.

 

Patching OS X is so simple, but yet there are people who still put it off. A new malware variant sets out to punish those who haven’t been keeping up to date with updates.

 

The new variant is a Trojan horse called ‘Flashback.G’ and is makes use of two exploits found on older versions of the Java runtime. Users with macs running OS X 10.6 ‘Snow Leopard’ are particularly at risk since this version came with Java preinstalled while 10.7 ‘Lion’ did not.

 

According to security firm Intego, this malware uses three tricks to try to get itself installed onto a system: read more...

Hack Mac OS X
On entend souvent dire, « Windows ce nʼest pas sécurisé, moi jʼutilise Mac OS X, cʼest tellement mieux sécurisé !! »


Est-ce en effet le cas ou non ?


L’objectif de cette présentation est de présenter différentes méthodes de compromission du système Mac OS X sympas, relativement simples à mettre en œuvre et souvent peu connues du grand public. Ces méthodes seront présentées selon le positionnement et les droits quʼun attaquant a pu obtenir lors dʼune tentative de compromission.

 

Par exemple, est-il simple de pirater un Mac à distance ou depuis un accès physique ?

 

Une démonstration permettra notamment de mettre en exergue ===> la simplicité avec laquelle il est possible de compromettre un Mac depuis un accès physique… <===

Secunia’s Chief Security Specialist hopes Apple will work better with researchers in the future and provide more informative status updates and estimated fix dates.

 

”It's regretful to experience that there are still some major software vendors that do not understand how to properly work with researchers,” Eiram added.

 

“Hopefully, Apple will in the future strive to work better with researchers to ultimately protect their customers by providing more informative status updates and estimated fix dates instead of prioritizing antiquated internal policies higher.”

Jailbreaking BYOD Control. Is Apple iOS ready for enterprise primetime?

Jailbreaking BYOD Control. Is Apple iOS ready for enterprise primetime? | Apple, Mac, MacOS, iOS4, iPad, iPhone and (in)security... | Scoop.it
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.
