Mac Malware
Investigations by Intego and others have turned up some interesting information which explains why different sinkholes are providing different numbers of infected Macs. (See our blog post earlier today, Flashback Mac Infection Rates Underestimated .) As mentioned above, the Flashback malware looks for specific domains with the .com, .net, .info, .in and .kz top-level domains. It seems that for some of these domains, Dr Web’s sinkhole is trapping infected Macs. Yet for the other domains – those with .net, .in and .kz – testing shows that the specific domains that the Flashback malware attempts to contact resolve to the IP address 127.0.0.1, or localhost (that is, the infected Mac itself).
