This is yet another ordsprog

This is yet another example of the continuing spread of malicious code onto other platforms. While there is no known exploit at this time, users are encouraged to turn off the 'Open safe files after downloading option' in their Safari browsers and watch for further information from Apple.

This first Macintosh OS X threat is an example of the continuing spread of malicious code on to other platforms.

This could have led to the stealing of identities, allowing a remote attacker to deceive innocent users into downloading malicious code or providing personal and confidential information.

We have speculated that attackers would turn their attention to other platforms, and two back-to-back examples of malicious code targeting Macintosh OS X this week illustrates this emerging trend.

Every month Microsoft releases security patches for its software - and it's often a race against time for companies to roll these patches out across their business before a hacker takes advantage of the vulnerability. A security hole which allows hackers with malicious intentions to run code on Windows or Apple Mac computers is very serious, and all affected users should ensure they have defended their systems.

These emails do not really come from Amazon, and clicking on the attached file will install a malicious Trojan horse on your computer. Once it has slipped under your radar, this Trojan is capable of downloading further malicious code from the internet, giving hackers access to your PC. A real message from Amazon would never contain an attached executable file, and people should always think carefully before running unsolicited code on their computer.

We're looking at one vulnerability in Apple's Safari browser, and two worms that can attack Macs across a network. There's one that affects the instant messaging between Macs, and another worm that affects wireless connections. They can go in and put on files that'll interfere with your performance. Once you get in there you can fish out all sorts of information and do all kinds of nasty work.

Three of the vulnerabilities can launch malicious code that allows an attacker to snoop on users. The other vulnerability is a DOS attack that will only work in a few cases and crash the media player when it tries to open a file.

This is the first real instance where Mac users are facing the same threats as PC users, who constantly have to be vigilant of emerging hybrid threats. Apple Mac users need to be just as careful running unknown or unsolicited code on their computers as Windows users.

Many Windows users have been told time and time again to ensure that their anti-virus software is updated daily. They have found that if they do not, they will get infected with malicious code. Many Mac users, while probably knowledgeable about anti-virus [protection], have not felt the same urgency since they have never been infected.

Because of the first worm, too many people were suddenly starting to think about and investigate the possibility of writing a Mac OS X worm. Publishing the exploit as fast as possible is the best for all Apple users. I think at the end of the week, every Apple user will know about it.

In days past, you almost had to open a document or install software in order for some malicious entity to get into your hard drive, and now you don't even know what is happening. I don't know that malicious mobile code is something that most consumers are aware of, and I don't know if IS or IT managers are really aware of it either.

Essentially, the operating system is executing commands that come in the metadata for ZIP files. That is exacerbated by the problem that Safari will automatically open the file when you encounter it on the Web.

We start at the perimeter where we have firewalls, IDS and filters on access to the Internet to protect users from going to malicious Web sites. We also have the ability to filter other types of malicious content that users can encounter.

To do this, social engineers sometimes send misleading messages to try to trick users into running a malicious attachment. Or they will try to get users to connect to a spoofed Web site. This could allow the perpetrator to obtain confidential information.
