Abacwaningi bathole muva nje ICalisto Trojan, etholakala kuma-Macs athile. Konke kubonakala kukhombisa ukuthi yi- owandulela iProton Trojan, eyatholakala ku-2017. Le Trojan ithatha uhlobo lwefayela elicindezelwe ngefomethi ye-Apple DMG. Ngokunengqondo ayisayiniwe futhi izenza uhlelo lwe-Intego's Internet Security X9 Mac. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi lolu hlelo lokusebenza luyiphakethe le-antivirus nokuphepha.
Inkampani yezokuphepha yamakhompiyutha iKaspersky, ingeza ukuthi usuku lokwethulwa kwalo lufana nosuku olusemthethweni lokwethulwa kwesicelo, oluvumela nabasebenzisi abaphambili ukuthi bangalusoli ushintsho.
Ngakho-ke, abasebenzisi abalande isoftware ye-Intego kuwebhusayithi esemthethweni akufanele babe nenkinga enkulu, njengoba benenguqulo ephephe ngokuphelele. Ukusebenza kwale malware kusicela imininingwane yomsebenzisi ebhokisini lokuhlonza okungelona iqiniso eligcina likhombisile. Ngemuva kokunikeza imininingwane, i-malware ivala ukunikela ngamathuba wokuphinda ulande isoftware kuwebhusayithi esemthethweni.
Ngokukunikeza iziqinisekiso, i-malware ithola imininingwane yakho yokungena ngemvume ngakho-ke ungakwazi ukufinyelela ku-keychain, ngamaphasiwedi nolunye ulwazi olunelungelo lethimba lethu, njengolwazi lokuzulazula, amanethiwekhi omphakathi, phakathi kwabanye. Amandla okuthola imininingwane aqhubeka, kepha le nqubo ibisakhiwa.
Lokhu kuthathelana akunakwenziwa uma sigcina izindlela zokuphepha eziphansi. Noma kunjalo, i-Apple iyaqhubeka nokwenza ukuphepha kwayo kwe-Mac. imishini yesimanjemanje ibizovikelwa kwiTrojan ngenxa yeSystem Integrity Protection (SIP) i-Apple eyethule ngo-2015 nge-El Capitan. Ngalesi sivikelo, i-Apple ivikela amafayela abucayi ukugwema ukuguqulwa.
Ukugwema lokhu kuhlaselwa, noma ngabe kuvela ku-2016, kungenzeka inqobo nje uma singakhubazi i-SIP, sinemacOS esesikhathini futhi asilandi isoftware noma amafayela emithonjeni engathembekile. Isincomo sokuqala ukulanda noma yiluphi uhlobo lwesoftware ku-Mac App Store, yize iningi labathuthukisi ligcina amakhasi abo evikelwe kahle ukugwema ukungena kwe-malware ezinhlelweni zabo.
