New Mac Virus

There has been a new virus that has been affecting Macintosh computers called (Backdoor_OSX_Morcut).
How the virus is spread is unknown, but there are several symptoms to the symtoms of the virus.


  1. It can take full control on e-mail and chatting option of users.
  2. It can take full control on Skype and MSN ID of users.
  3. It can remove photos that have taken by webcam.
  4. It can pass every login password.
  5. Executive application, browse history, document screenshot, control on microphone, information on calendar, and addresses that have been stored in various ID’s can be controlled because of this Mac virus.

Referring back to my post about internet safety myths this proves that no operating system is safe, even Mac computers who used to be able to boast that their operating system cannot get viruses and have no need for an anti-virus software system. I hope this latest attack busts the myth once and for all.
