Doctor Web warns that owners of Apple computers running the operating system macOS A new malware threatens.
The malware was named Mac.BackDoor.Siggen.20. It allows attackers to download and execute arbitrary Python code on the victim's device.
The malware infiltrates Apple computers through websites owned by cybercriminals. For example, one of these resources is disguised as a page with the WhatsApp application.
It is interesting that the spyware Trojan BackDoor.Wirenet.517, which infects computers running operating systems, is also distributed through such sites. WindowsThis malware allows remote control of the victim's device, including the use of the camera and microphone.
When visiting malicious web resources, the embedded code detects the user's operating system and, depending on it, loads a backdoor or a Trojan module, Doctor Web notes.
It should be added that attackers disguise malicious sites not only as pages of popular applications. So, resources have already been discovered that are designed as business card sites with a portfolio of non-existent people.
