Gust MEES's insight:

Users of BitTorrent client app Transmission became the first reported victims of Mac ransomware this week. People who downloaded infected versions of the app also received "KeRanger" malware, 9to5Mac says, nefarious software that would encrypt a user's hard drive three days after being installed and demand payment to unlock the data.

Gust MEES's insight:

Last month, security researcher Stefan Esser published details and proof-of-concept code of a zero-day vulnerability in OS X Yosemite that could allow a hacker to easily escalate their privileges, and take complete control over Mac computers.

Esser chose not to contact Apple about the DYLD_PRINT_TO_FILE vulnerability - which remains currently unpatched in OS X Yosemite, despite it curiously being fixed in the beta version of the next iteration of OS X, El Capitan.

Now, security firm Malwarebytes has discovered an in-the-wild attack exploiting the vulnerability, where root permission is gained on the computer without a password being needed.

L'initiative Project Zero de Google se poursuit et ses chercheurs en sécurité ont ainsi dévoilé trois failles d'OS X jugées sévères. Apple a été informé de ces vulnérabilités trois mois plus tôt, mais n'a pas publié de correctifs.

Gust MEES's insight:

No sooner had we reported that Microsoft will adopt a "rolling update" model for Windows 10...

...than we received notice of Apple's latest "rolling update" for its Safari browser.

What to do?

Simple: head to Apple Menu | App Store... | Updates and make sure you have the latest version of Safari.

To check your Safari version, run the browser and use Safari | About Safari, or open a Finder window and go to Applications| Safari.app.

For more information from the horse's mouth, visit Apple's Security Updateslanding page (which has been re-numbered from HT1222 to HT20122), or theSafari x.x.6 update page itself (HT204826).
