And hate it or not there was no iTunes store or Amazon or whoever is number 3 in the market. =-A few years back there was no such thing as p2p. Not to play an holier than thou harp, but there is an inherent risk assessment that you will make on a task like. I suspect that before long the wise and the cunning will have to run VMs inside of VM’s and have system snapshots every hour to ensure that they stay safe (while surfing naughty) – (note: sarcasm + tongue in cheek)ģ.> Only get your Media and SW from reputable sources. (at least for sure)Ģ.>Security in this new internet is going to be so much harder than in the old internet.
If You do not know your source then you do not know.

(or at least last time I checked) So while the major parties and browsers can easily patch this I do not think that the torrent vendors are going to be in the security business and that is shame. It seems funny to an old graybeard but if you want quality stolen SW then -good luck- I mean remember Limewire? I really wonder how many machines I fixed because of what that beast downloaded so:ġ.> I do not think that turning off Java, or javascript will fix it, because Vuze is a java app. Just Because your member can fit in a light bulb, does not mean you should try to fug one. What on earth are you using it for anyway in your web browser? Oh, and also, this is a cross-platform attack and works on Linux and Windows too (although it probably throws up warning dialogs there, too), but heck, “ZOMG EXPLOITROOTKIT MAC OS X LOLOL!!1!1!” draws in the crowds more. Want to be safe? Uninstall Java, disable it, whatever. My personal opinion is that since both claims come from security vendors, we should probably unpanic, make a nice cup of tea, and go about our daily lives. In their report, they say the initial Java apple portion throws up a nice Java warning cancel/allow dialog, meaning everything works as intended and the threat level of this attack is low.Ī side note from Intego is that they claim the malware is ‘broken’ or downloads the wrong files, implying that the attack could technically work silently without throwing up dialogs, but just not right now.

The problem is that while SecureMac claims that the attack is completely silent, without any user intervention or password dialogs, Intego claims the contrary. It runs upon startup, loads up local web and IRC servers, joins a botnet, employs a DNS changer, and a bunch of other stuff.

This applet would download an installer which, SecureMac claims, modifies system files to bypass the system’s password. It supposedly spreads via links on social networking sites (worm), so for instance clicking a link would take you to a website which executes a Java applet (trojan). The original report comes from SecureMac, which warns Mac OS X users of a trojan horse called Boonana. As it turns out, though, the threat this thing poses is not very large (at this point in time).
This time around, it’s a trojan horse thing (it’s a trojan, worm, and root kit all in one, though) that targets Mac OS X and Windows. A supposed security threat appears, and the internet loses its collective brain and starts panicking like Alpha and Omega’s kingdom come.
