 http://www.net-security.org/malware_news.php?id=1714 Quote:- Cross-platform malware is still a rare occurrence, so when it's detected, it usually attracts more attention than the malware engineered to affect only one particular platform. A recent one, detected by McAfee and "named" IncognitoRAT attacks both Windows and Mac OS users. So, how does it manage to do it? "IncognitoRAT is one example of a Java-based Trojan discovered in the wild that is being downloaded and installed by another component. This malware behaves like other Windows botnets but uses source code and libraries that can operate on other platforms," explains McAfee's Carlos Castillo. --- Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 (Windows/20100228) * Origin: Fidonet Via Newsreader - http://www.easternstar.info (1:123/789) |
