Security experts at Intego are warning Apple Mac users of a new in-the-wild malware threat, which masquerades as an installer for Adobe Flash Player.
The malware, which Intego says appears to be a variant of OSX/Shlayer and OSX/Bundlore, was found hiding on webpages after searching Google for the “exact titles of YouTube videos”:
While searching Google for the exact titles of YouTube videos, Intego’s research team encountered Google search results that, when clicked, pass through multiple redirection sites and end up on a page that claims the visitor’s Flash Player is out of date, and displays deceptive warnings and fake dialog boxes to entice the victim to download a supposed Flash Player updater—which is, in fact, a Trojan horse.
Using the disguise of an Adobe Flash Player update is hardly new for malware, even on Apple Macs, but what is more unusual is how the malware attempts to hide its activities from both the computer user and security software.
According to Intego’s chief security analyst Joshua Long, the bogus Flash installer app is in reality a bash shell script.
The malicious script spews out a password-protected .ZIP archive file, containing a malicious app that is installed in a hidden temporary folder. This app, in turn, downloads a legitimate installer for Flash Player digitally-signed by Adobe in an attempt to not arouse suspicion.
However, the malicious app also has the ability to download further malware and adware from command-and-control servers operated by whoever is orchestrating the attack.
Frankly, in the year 2020, you probably shouldn’t be installing any versions of Flash on your computer – whether they be legitimate or bogus. There are virtually no sites that still rely upon Flash, and even Adobe is keen for you to forget all about it.
Stop making life easy for cybercriminals. Ensure that you don’t have Adobe Flash lingering on any of your computers, and then you’ll know for certain that any prompts to update it can only be malicious. :)
