Apple Updates Xprotect Malware Definitions to Shut down "iWorm" Mac Botnet

Apple changed its XProtect blacklisting system for OS X this weekend to take care of the recent iWorm attacks that allegedly infected more than 18,000 Macs. As reported by MacRumors and Business Insider, a change to the XProtect.plist file released on October 4 contained definitions to safeguard users from three variants of the iWorm malware, including OSX.iWorm.A, OSX.iWorm.B, and OSX.iWorm.C.



Security researchers at Russian antivirus company Dr Web discovered that the iWorm malware was targeting OS X computers. It also formed a botnet using a Reddit server list. cubpack88 Although it's not clear how the malware spread, a tip from The Safe Mac suggests that the malware was distributed with pirated Mac software downloaded from The Pirate Bay.



In addition to Apple's antimalware actions, Reddit also shut down a fake Minecraft subreddit and blocked the account that was posting the iWorm botnet server list on the subreddit's forums. iWorm-controlled Macs aren't able to connect to botnet servers that are used by hackers to send instructions.
