Incidentally, all records indicate there have been approximately 400 Macs hit by FruitFly. . . at least that was the number that Malwarebytes found reporting to the FruitFly home server this guy had setup. Most of these were in the US. He later abandoned that server and Malwarebytes could see no evidence of efforts of the FruitFly creator to monetize the malware. For example no advertising, hijacking, or ransomware were installed on the targeted computers. It was theorized industrial espionage and/or perverse spying were possible motives by a single individual.
The article mentions “thousands” of computers, but that has not been reported in the tech Press as far as Macs are concerned. I’m wondering since they’ve gone back further and are now reporting the Windows PC involvement if the discrepancy has to do with those machines?
Thanks for the heads up!
