Kaspersky Lab experts have estimated the chances of entering the malicious program to a device running OS X from Apple. Data from the Kaspersky Security Network suggests that the active Internet user is attacked by malicious software for OS X at least 10 times a year.

– in August 2014. likelihood of unwanted interference with the malicious software was approximately 3%. Compared with the 21% risk of infection faced by Windows users, the situation on the Mac seems much better. However, if we extrapolate this to the number of potential incidents, the problem no longer seems so trivial.

– During the first eight months of 2014. Experts at Kaspersky Lab have registered nearly 1 000 unique attacks on computers running OS X.

– The risk that a computer running Mac OS X is infected, is about 3%.

– Kaspersky Lab collection contains 1 800 unique samples of malicious files for Mac OS X (in some cases, one sample can describe a wide variety of threats.)

Malware software for OS X that most stands out in the collection of Kaspersky Lab Callme is a backdoor that allows cybercriminals to remotely access the system and, under the additional features, stealing contacts the owner of the device – which are likely future victims. Another backdoor Laoshu is signed with a trusted certificate creator – apparently malware writers are preparing to spread it through the official store AppStore. Laoshu action consists in performing screenshots every minute. Third spyware, which is worth mentioning Ventir, provides the functionality of a secret remote control and is able to record the characters entered from the keyboard. The collection also features a spyware iPhone, the first encryption module files for OS X and the first Bitcoiny stealing malware for OS X.

“Over the past four years, the threat landscape has changed significantly for Mac transformation – from isolated cases to a global epidemic caused by a worm Flashback, which resulted in 2011. infected was 700 000 computers with OS X over the world. It was a turning point – after that every year there are hundreds of new malicious programs for Apple hardware. What’s more, OS X was the center of high-profile espionage operations in the media, such as The Mask / careto and Icefog “- said Eugene Kaspersky , President and CEO of Kaspersky Lab.

Data from Kaspersky Lab shows that users in the United States and Germany were by far the most affected by the attacks in 2013-2014 – in these countries registered to 66 000 to detect threats to OS X. In the five countries on the list – the UK, Canada, Spain , Italy and Australia – were recorded for 7 700 to detect.
