Tsis yog Koj Qhov Nruab Nrab Malware
Tus tshiab macOS malware cuam tshuam rau Intel thiab Apple silicon processors, raws li tsab ntawv ceeb toom. Cov kws tshawb fawb txog kev ruaj ntseg tau hais hauv tsab ntawv ceeb toom tias qhov loj me ntawm cov malware yog txaus los ua "kev hem thawj loj," txawm hais tias nws "tsis tau nthuav tawm tus cwj pwm uas peb tau los txog los ntawm cov adware ib txwm muaj uas feem ntau tsom rau macOS systems."
Nyob rau hauv cov lus teb rau daim ntawv tshaj tawm ntawm malware, Apple tshem tawm cov ntawv pov thawj tsim tawm uas cia tus kab mob kis mus. Tab sis cov kws tshaj lij hais tias, txawm tias me ntsis paub txog cov malware, nws yog ib lub tswv yim zoo kom ceev faj.
"Cov neeg siv yuav tsum nruab lossis hloov kho lawv cov software tiv thaiv kab mob," Jeff Horne, tus thawj coj saib xyuas kev nyab xeeb ntawm lub tuam txhab cybersecurity Ordr, tau hais hauv kev xam phaj email.
"Muaj qhov kev xav tsis raug uas Macs tsis raug cuam tshuam rau malware-qhov no tsuas yog tsis muaj tseeb thiab kuv xav pom zoo kom siv cov tshuaj tiv thaiv tshiab los ntawm tus muag khoom muaj npe nrov ntawm koj lub Mac."
Thaum tus malware tsis tshwm sim ua rau muaj kev phom sij rau lub sijhawm tam sim no, qhov ntawd tsis tau lees paub rau yav tom ntej. Horne tau hais tias "Tau kawg cov neeg ua haujlwm malware tuaj yeem xa ib tus lej ntawm cov lus txib tsis zoo rau cov cuab yeej muaj kab mob Silver Sparrow," Horne hais.
Tseem Muaj Sijhawm Tiv Thaiv Koj Mac
Txoj xov zoo rau cov neeg siv yog tias cov malware tsis tau siv los ua ib yam dab tsi rau lub khoos phis tawj kis tau ua ntej nws raug tshawb pom, Ray Walsh, tus kws tshaj lij cov ntaub ntawv ntiag tug ntawm lub vev xaib ntiag tug ProPrivacy, tau hais hauv kev sib tham email.
"Qhov no yuav tsum txhais tau tias cov neeg siv khoom siv tau cov kev pab cuam tiv thaiv kab mob los tshem tawm qhov kev hem thawj tam sim no uas nws tau txheeb pom," nws hais ntxiv.
Tam sim no rau xov xwm phem. Cov kws tshawb fawb uas nrhiav pom Silver Sparrow tsis paub meej tias nws ua li cas rau nws txoj kev mus rau cov cuab yeej muaj kab mob, yog li "nws tsis tuaj yeem hais nrog kev ntseeg siab li cas cov neeg siv khoom yuav zam dhau kev kis tus kab mob," Walsh tau taw qhia.
Txoj hauv kev zoo tshaj los tiv thaiv koj tus kheej los ntawm malware zoo li Silver Sparrow yog ua raws li kev coj ua zoo tshaj plaws ntawm cybersecurity, Andreas Grant, tus kws tshaj lij kev ruaj ntseg network thiab tus tsim ntawm Networks Hardware, tau hais hauv kev xam phaj email.
Cov lus qhia no suav nrog tsis txhob nyem rau ntawm qhov txuas coj txawv txawv, tsis rub cov khoom los ntawm qhov chaw tsis ntseeg siab, thiab ua kom koj cov cuab yeej hloov kho tshiab.
"Muaj qhov kev xav tsis raug uas Macs tsis raug rau malware."
Hauk pom zoo kom cov neeg siv nruab Malwarebytes software thiab ua scan tam sim. Txij li thaum Malwarebytes ua haujlwm nrog Red Canary ntawm kev tshawb nrhiav cov ntaub ntawv rau nws qhov kev tshuaj xyuas, lub tuam txhab malware scanning software yuav tsum kuaj xyuas yog tias Mac tau kis tus kab mob, nws hais.
Nco ntsoov khaws Malwarebytes 'malware txhais tau hloov kho tas li, thiab teem caij lub tshuab ntes kom khiav tsawg kawg ib zaug hauv ib hnub.
Tsis muaj txoj hauv kev tshem tawm cov malware tseem, Grant tau hais. "Kuv pom zoo ib tus neeg uas xav tias lawv muaj nws kom lawv cov cuab yeej hloov kho tshiab," nws hais ntxiv. "Vim tias muaj ntau txoj haujlwm tau ua tiav tam sim no ntawm kev tshem tawm cov malware. Qhov no yuav raug tso tawm hauv kev hloov tshiab tom ntej."
Nyob tos rau cov xov xwm hais txog Silver Sparrow, Grant tau hais. Cov kws tshawb fawb tseem tsis nkag siab tias qhov malware tuaj yeem ua tiav li cas.
