‘Weyland-Yutani’ Crime Kit Targets Macs for Bots
Summary: A new crimeware kit called Weyland-Yutani BOT is being sold for $1,000, payable only in Liberty Reserve or WebMoney, and is marketed as the first of its kind to build malware for Mac OS X. Its seller claims form-grabbing in Firefox and Chrome, says ZeuS and SpyEye web injects can be reformatted for it, and plans Linux and iPad versions while holding off on Safari support.
What you should know: A point-and-click Mac botnet builder at $1,000, compatible with injects written for ZeuS and SpyEye, undercuts the assumption that Mac users face a materially different threat than Windows users - and the seller says other coders are working on Mac malware not yet released.
