Apple actualizeaza sistemul de protectie al OS X pentru a bloca un nou tip de malware numit Yontoo

  Yontoo este numele unui nou tip de malware facut public zilele trecute de catre o companie de securitate informatica, el afectand atat Windows-ul, cat si OS X-ul celor de la Apple. Yontoo afecteaza browserele pentru desktop-uri, afisand reclame pe aproape orice website, inclusiv cel al Apple, iar compania americana s-a gandit

sa il blocheze actualizand sistemul Xprotect al OS X. Apple a inclus denumirea fisierelor acestui malware in Xprotect, iar acum posesorii de Mac-uri ar trebui sa stea linistiti deoarece nu vor fi afectati de catre el.

Apple has decided the Yontoo Adware has fallen too far on the side of undesirable behavior, as they have released an update to the XProtect.plist definitions file to provide Mac OS X with basic detection for the Yontoo adware as OSX.AdPlugin.i. In testing, it appears this detection is very specific and potentially location-dependent. This extra specificity is likely there so as to catch only the surreptitious installations of this file.

  Sistemul Xprotect al Apple protejeaza posesorii de Mac-uri si impotriva vulnerabilitatilor existente in plugin-ul Java, Apple folosindu-se de el in mai multe ocazii pentru a proteja utilizatorii.
