a report in Ars Technica.
According to Ars who spoke to Jaime Blasco of security firm Alien Vault, two
backdoor trojans that infect Mac computers have been discovered in the wild.
These trojans target the employees of several non-governmental, pro-Tibetan
organizations and exploit a security hole in Microsoft Office and Oracle’s
Java framework. The holes have been patched, but apparently the security fixes
closing them were not applied in this infection.
Once installed, the trojans send user and domain information to a central
server owned by the people who created the malware. The trojans then sit in
the background awaiting instructions. This is only one report of such targeted
attacks, but Blasco believes this won’t be last. As companies and governments
