Mac Trojan: OSX/RxPlug.A

Today, we have found a Mac OS X trojan. It is usually said that only windows users should be worried by malware. As we show today, this is not true.

It all starts with a lot of porn sites:

ispfiltersporn.com

land-porn.com

lineporn.net

look-porn.com

play-porn.com

playhardmovie.com

playxvideo.com

playxxxvideo.net

porn-abc.com

porn-contact.com

porn-global.net

porn-go.net

porn-group.net

porn-party.net

porn-play.net

porn-plus.net

porn-power.net

pornissex.com

pornname.net

pornxxxfilm.com

relatedporn.net

seek-porn.net

stephieporn.com

superadultfriend.com

theadulteye.com

time-porn.net

use-porn.com

withpornstars.com

worldbestadult.com

porn-room.net

pornabout.com

porndrive.net

pornhelp.net

They all host some videos with names like: Download Sample Movie, Free movie clip, Get movie clip

This malware hides as a QuickTime plugin. When you try to download a video file, you are encouraged to download this plugin. It also, asks the user for the administrator password, in order to get installed.

Once installed, it runs a script that changes de DNS configuration, to redirect users to phishing sites of banks, eBay, or Paypal.

As always, be careful!

Thanks to Adrian and Oscar for this one.
