Lame Mac malware offered for $60 a pop
Cybercrooks are attempting to obtain few bucks for a lame piece of Mac malware, dubbed NetWeird.
NetWeird (AKA NetWeirdRC) has been offered for sale for the princely sum of $60 through underground cyber-crime forums, according to Mac security specialist Intego. The cross-platform malware potentially affects OS X (versions 10.6 and higher), Windows, Linux and Solaris.
Like the Crisis superworm, Netweird is a commercial remote access tool. However that's where the similarities end. Crisis – the first strain of malware capable of infecting virtual machines – is effective in both hiding itself and infecting systems, unlike Netweird.
