 A security vulnerability that affects MacOS and threatens to steal private information

Apple's MacOS seems to be experiencing a new security problem. The new problem is the vulnerability of the operating system attacks targeting the DNS address of the computers.according to The Hacker News, the malicious software is related to changing the DNSChange address, Earlier in 2011. This type of malware works by changing DNS server settings on affected computers, thus directing traffic through the Internet through malicious servers that transmit sensitive data during this process. This new version called "OSX / MaMi.

The initial information about this malicious code came from the Malwarebytes blog, prompting the Director of Research at Synack Patrick Wardle, for a thorough examination of the order. Wardell found that malware was already a DNS-related software, Install certain certificates that penetrate even encrypted connections ...
Warden added that this software, though not developed, is stubborn and persistent and injects malicious software into target devices and
can steal private information such as credit card data, advertisements, or even malicious software related to mining operations within pages. Moreover, it is said that malicious programming may extend to other things, such as moving the mouse, taking snapshots, and even more: taking screenshots, moving the mouse, and even continuing as a launch element (software that works with the computer), or Even downloading and downloading files, executing certain commands ...

Although there are still many things we do not know about this attack, such as specific information about how it is spread, Wardle speculates that attackers may use traditional methods of attack such as malicious e-mails, counterfeit security alerts or pop-ups, at the time You can check to make sure you are not affected by accessing System Preferences and making sure there is no anonymous software, go to the network menu, choose Advanced mode, and access the DNS domain list, and then make sure that there are no domains 82.163.143.135 and 82.163 142.137.
