APPLE RANSOMWARE 2007 CODE
This malicious code will encrypt the Apple Mac hard drive and hold the data for ransom. This Apple Mac ransomware does everything that Windows ransomware does. This malware is called MacRasom which offers ransomware as a service. Well it is just that false sense of security that new ransomware attacks are looking for.Īccording to a recent blog by the security companies Fortinet and AlienVault, a new Apple Mac ransomware attack has been discovered. It seems like most Apple Mac users assume that their systems are safe from things like ransomware attacks. Recently, a new form of ransomware targeting Apple Mac devices has been discovered called MacRansom. As the Apple Mac user base grows, so does the number of targeted malware versions. McAfee Computer Security has estimated that there are approximately 450,000 malicious programs aimed at Macs. However, there are still enough risk to warrant strong security measures for anyone using an Apple Mac. My answer is always a strong “NO” but with some explanation.įirst off, we know that there are fewer viruses associated to the Apple operating system than with the Windows operating system.
