Mac Malware Connection to ‘LuckyCat’ Attack Campaign Found
By
Apple’s “super secure” Mac OS X operating system is coming under attack from a strain of malware which has been linked to the “LuckyCat” attack campaign. This link has been found by researchers at Kaspersky Lab, who set up a honeypot machine to monitor the activity of the malware. They also discovered that the malware, called SabPub, spreads through Microsoft Word documents. The link below contains a detailed analysis of the discovery.
On the morning of Sunday April 15, the traffic generated by the C&C changed. The attackers took over the connection and started analysing our fake victim machine. They listed the contents of the root and home folders and even stole some of the goat documents we put in there!
