The new version of the trojan horse adds itself as a login item disguised as Java, has a more believable prompt for username and password. It slows down the computer by tying up the CPU with a loop function, executes shell commands, and can attempt to erase the hard drive. This new version should be not confused with an older variant from back in February. http://prmac.com/release-id-17807.htm http://prmac.com/release-id-17807.htm Thu, 04 Nov 2010 01:00:00 CST The SecureMac team today announced a new variant of the Boonana malware has been discovered. The new variant, trojan.osx.boonana.b, behaves in a very similar manner to the original malware, and is currently being distributed on multiple sites. SecureMac has identified two more websites that are currently hosting the new malware variant. Rather than the initial site which tricks users into running (and installing) the malware, these servers seem to be hosting update code for the malware. http://prmac.com/release-id-17594.htm http://prmac.com/release-id-17594.htm Thu, 28 Oct 2010 14:30:00 CST The SecureMac team today released an initial analysis of the Mac OS X Boonana Trojan Horse and has created a free removal tool as well as administrative instructions to manually remove the affected machines. Due to the fact that the Command and Control servers for the malware are still active, we maintain a threat level rating of critical for trojan.osx.boonana.a. Detailed procedures and instructions are also listed in the report. http://prmac.com/release-id-17529.htm http://prmac.com/release-id-17529.htm Wed, 27 Oct 2010 02:55:00 CST SecureMac has discovered a new trojan horse in the wild that affects Mac OS X, including Snow Leopard, the latest version of OS X. The trojan horse, trojan.osx.boonana.a, is spreading through social networking sites, including Facebook, disguised as a video. The trojan is currently appearing as a link in messages on social networking sites with the subject "Is this you in this video?" When run, the installer modifies system files to bypass the need for passwords. http://prmac.com/release-id-16422.htm http://prmac.com/release-id-16422.htm Mon, 20 Sep 2010 02:00:00 CST In honor of pirate day and in preparation for October's security awareness month, SecureMac will be offering MacScan for free for one day only, September 20th 2010.
