New OS X malware variant attacks unpatched Macs
Patching OS X is so simple, but yet there are people who still put it off. A new malware variant sets out to punish those who haven’t been keeping up to date with updates.
The new variant is a Trojan horse called ‘Flashback.G’ and is makes use of two exploits found on older versions of the Java runtime. Users with macs running OS X 10.6 ‘Snow Leopard’ are particularly at risk since this version came with Java preinstalled while 10.7 ‘Lion’ did not.
