The First Successful Malware For Mac
It’s March 7, 2016 and if you like to torrent with your Mac, you could be a victim to the first successful piece of malware to target Mac computers. Up until now, Apple has managed to keep Mac owners’ systems safe, but that has been spreading itself around through torrent client, Transmission. If you’ve been availing yourself of the vast seas of pirated content – because, let’s face it, that’s what most folks use torrents for – then you may be at risk. Specifically, if you downloaded Transmission between March 4-5 you’re probably infected. Transmission recommends you head to its official site and download the latest version to make sure you’re not running an infected piece of software. Do something new.

The group that discovered the software call it KeRanger, and it essentially encrypts all of the data on your computer, making it impossible to access until you send 1 Bitcoin — about $400 — to have it released. The researchers who found it say the malware is still under development and appears to be preparing to take Time Machine backup data hostage too, so victims would have little-to-no recourse. Apparently the software was signed with an official Mac app certificate, and that’s how it got through. Now that a Mac has been successfully targeted, will Apple crack down and prevent others from following suit, or will the vulnerability be exploited again? We’ll know soon enough.
