Allan Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 We believe that this malware family heralds a new era in malware attacking Apple’s desktop and mobile platforms based on the following characteristics: Of known malware families distributed through trojanized / repackaged OS X applications, it is the biggest in scale we have ever seen It is only the second known malware family that attacks iOS devices through OS X via USB It is the first malware to automate generation of malicious iOS applications, through binary file replacement It is the first known malware that can infect installed iOS applications similar to a traditional virus It is the first in-the-wild malware to install third-party applications on non-jailbroken iOS devices through enterprise provisioning WireLurker was used to trojanize 467 OS X applications on the Maiyadi App Store, a third-party Mac application store in China. In the past six months, these 467 infected applications were downloaded over 356,104 times and may have impacted hundreds of thousands of users.

Allan Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 This malware is under active development and its creator’s ultimate goal is not yet clear. Paloaltonteworks recommends: We recommend users take the following actions to mitigate the threat from WireLurker and similar threats: Enterprises should assure their mobile device traffic is routed through a threat prevention system using a mobile security application like GlobalProtect Employ an antivirus or security protection product for the Mac OS X system and keep its signatures up-to-date In the OS X System Preferences panel under “Security & Privacy,” ensure “Allow apps downloaded from Mac App Store (or Mac App Store and identified developers)” is set Do not download and run Mac applications or games from any third-party app store, download site or other untrusted source Keep the iOS version on your device up-to-date Do not accept any unknown enterprise provisioning profile unless an authorized, trusted party (e.g. your IT corporate help desk) explicitly instructs you to do so Do not pair your iOS device with untrusted or unknown computers or devices Avoid powering your iOS device through chargers from untrusted or unknown sources Similarly, avoid connecting iOS devices with untrusted or unknown accessories or computers (Mac or PC) Do not jailbreak your iOS device; If you do jailbreak it, only use credible Cydia community sources and avoid the use or storage of sensitive personal information on that device 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sukkel Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 It doesn't matter, the government already knows who you are! Just keep your private stuff on a different computer which has nothing more as the system install and the regular software for browsing, mailing and bankaccounts. I use an older mac for that kind of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
