PC and Mac malware in the same boat

August 10th, 2009

It’s not often that I see a Trojan (DNS Changer) with same low detection rates on PC and Mac versions.

Well, these samples prove it. The ‘bait’ fake codec page is hosted at supertuberental.com

I downloaded and uploaded to Virus Total the two versions pretty much at the same time and here are the results

PC: 3/41

flash-plugin.45080.exe from exeloaddirect.com

pc

Only 3 AV engines on Virus Total are detecting this threat: DrWeb, NOD32 and Sophos.

Mac: 3/41

QuickTimeUpdate.dmg from tablenoids.com

mac

Only 3 AV engines on Virus Total are detecting this threat: F-Secure, Kaspersky and Sophos.

Congrats to Sophos for detecting both the PC and Mac version of this threat!

Our heuristics engine Zheng detects this threat (the PC version) proactively as well.
