New Targeted Mac OS X Trojan Requires No User Interaction

Posted by Soulskill on from the cursed-by-popularity dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Another Mac OS X Trojan has been spotted in the wild; this one exploits Java vulnerabilities just like the Flashback Trojan. Also just like Flashback, this new Trojan requires no user interaction to infect your Apple Mac. Kaspersky refers to it as 'Backdoor.OSX.SabPub.a' while Sophos calls it at 'SX/Sabpab-A.'"

    Unless you know you need Java, disable it.

    No one NEEDS Java.
