An email’s subject announces “Clinton Deal IS Leader caught on Video”. However, the email is non-existent and the payload is a cross-platform Trojan called Backdoor.Adwind, which is also using a Visual Basic script to determine what anti-virus the system is using to disable it. It is supposedly capable, according to Symantec, its discoverer, of installing the appropriate version of the malware for the platform it is opened on. However, on a Mac OS X WILL recognize all currently known Trojans, including Adwind's and variations of them, and warn the users who attempt to do so, regardless of the source. Visual Basic runs only on a Windows computer, not on a Mac and since OSX's anti-malware protection is system level, it could not be easily bypassed in any case. Not much to see here for Mac users, unless you are also using a Virtual Machine on your Mac running Windows.

What IS interesting is this is Politically targeted toward Conservative, anti-Hillary computer users. — PING!
