Rare Mac Trojan exploits Apple vulnerability
By
There’s a new trojan for OS X users out now which attacks Apple’s remote desktop agent. The trojan uses a keylogger to gain valuable information from keystrokes and uses iSight to capture photos of the user.
The trojan comes in two known variants, a script and an application, both of which requires the user to run them for the trojan to work.
A rare Mac OS X Trojan has been spotted on the internet. The AppleScript-THT Trojan horse exploits a vulnerability within the Apple Remote Desktop Agent to load itself with root privileges onto compromised Mac machines.
The malware, which is capable of infecting Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 boxes, surrenders control of compromised systems to hackers
