VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE Bitdefender has offered detection and removal of the latest e-threat affecting Mac OS X users. Identified earlier last week, the Flashback.L Trojan is thought to have infected more than 600,000 OS X computers worldwide by exploiting the Java runtime environment on the local machine. The malicious code is known to be hosted on websites that advertise themselves as user-generated video services. As the user lands on the compromised page, a piece of Javascript code loads a Java applet that exploits the locally-installed version of Java. Successful exploitation leads to the download and execution of a malicious file identified by Bitdefender as MAC.OSX.Trojan.FlashBack.L. This Trojan has a backdoor capability and also tries to harvest usernames and passwords used for services such as Gmail, PayPal, and e-banking, amongst others. For More Details See www.varindia.com
