Impela ngeke sisho ukuthi i-malware ayikho kuma-macOS, kepha uma kuyiqiniso ukuthi azelulwa njengalezo esizibona kwezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza. Sihlala siphinda ukuthi lokhu kungenxa yezici eziningana futhi okuyinhloko ukufakwa kwezicelo noma amathuluzi avela eceleni.
Uma ungomunye wabasebenzisi abahlale befaka izicelo ezisemthethweni, awunakwesaba kulokhu, kepha ngokuphambene nesikhathi wenza "ukuthenga" kusuka kumasayithi angekho emthethweni noma afanayo Kungenzeka ukuthi ikhompyutha yakho ibe nokuchayeka kokunye kwalokhu kungenwa yi-malware.
Umcwaningi wezokuphepha weSynAck uPatrick Wardl uthole i-malware entsha ethinta ngqo amakhamera ama-Macs ethu avumela ukusebenza kwe-webcam kude. Ngalokhu futhi njengoba kukhonjisiwe kuwebhusayithi ye-9to5Mac, kubaduni bangathola thatha izithombe, uthathe izithombe-skrini futhi bezokwazi nokwazi okhiye esibacindezelayo.
Kubukeka sengathi le Hardware ihlukile kweFruitfly ne Akusha kwi-macOS ngoba ibilokhu izula izizinda ezahlukahlukene kunethiwekhi isikhathi eside, ikakhulukazi e-United States, okuyilapho kutholakale khona isibalo esikhulu sabasebenzisi abanalesi sifo. Manje njengoba izindaba zisezandleni ze-Apple uqobo futhi nalawa makheli asevele "efingqiwe", kulindeleke ukuthi abasebenzisi abaningi bangatheleleki.
Ngemuva kokuhlaziya okwahlukile okusha kwale malware, uWardle ukwazile ukubhala ngemibhalo izizinda eziningana zokulondoloza ezifakwe kwi-software enobungozi. Okwamangaza ukuthi izizinda ezithintekile zagcinwa zitholakala. Kungakapheli izinsuku ezimbili ubhalisile elinye lamakheli, cishe ama-Macs angama-400 atheleleka lapho exhuma kwiseva, iningi lawo lise-United States. Yize uWardle engenzanga lutho ngaphandle kokubheka ikheli, amagama abasebenzisi kanye ne-IP yamakhompyutha we-Mac axhumeke kuseva yakhe, ebinamandla okusebenzisa isoftware enonya ukuhlola abasebenzisi abatheleleke bengazi.
Lokhu kusifundisa izinto eziningana, futhi ukuthi i-malware esiyithola isatshalaliswa kunethiwekhi imbi kubasebenzisi be-Mac njengoba kunjalo kwamanye amapulatifomu futhi kungukuqonda okulula kuphela lapho singakugwema ukutheleleka. Ngokunengqondo kukhona futhi "ibhadi" kodwa Imvamisa lezi zifo ze-malware zibangelwa ukunganaki lapho sifinyelela amanye amawebhusayithi noma silanda okuthile okungafanele sikwenze. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uma bethatha izithombe noma bathatha izithombe-skrini zokuzulazula kwethu, okuwukuphela kwento etholakalayo ukwephula ubumfihlo bomsebenzisi, kepha iMac izoqhubeka nokusebenza ngaphandle kwenkinga.
