Poisonous Apple – pay attention to Mac virus spread

In article of the famous computer magazine 《Macworld》, due to the advocacy of security manufacturer and multiple mediums, with the Mac computer market shares constantly increasing, Mac platform will suffer large-scale hacker attacks this year. However, since hacker has no power to attack Mac for its low market share, Mac computer users need not worry about security problems. In theory, the low Mac system market share protects Mac computer, but with Mac users constantly increasing, Mac computer will more strongly attract hacker. Mac will suffer virus attacks next year.        

  

Recently, a report released by Sophos consulting corporation indicates that hackers are developing Trojan program Blackhole RAT which is developed on the basis of the famous Windows DarkCometRAT for Mas OS X version. With it, hacker can control the whole computer through guiding Trojan remotely. But the currently released version is uncompleted testing version or preview version.    

 Sophos Corporation named this Trojan OSX/MusMini-A. The used interface of Trojan is mixed with English and German, and can display specified text file, command computer to start, hibernate or restart, execute any Shell command, send indicated URL to the controlled computer, or pop up the forged administrator permission window to make users enter the account code.    

But Sophos Corporation hasn’t found any malicious software produced by the Trojan suite. Some mediums think that as long as someone finds the leak and places the remote Trojan into users' computer, it may cause serious disaster since the use method of this suite is very simple and many Mac OS X users never use security prevention software.   

  

The virus damage worried most by the common users is data loss. In general, the Mac users use Mac computer to process professional graphics, and these files generally has great value to individuals or enterprises. If this kind of Mac computer is invaded by virus, the losses caused by important data loss will be immeasurable.      

Therefore, when users use Mac, you should not ignore the protection against Mac virus. And you should timely scan and kill virus after downloading the third-party resources. At the same time, in the daily operations, we should initiatively use prevention measures and open the Mac OS built-in malicious software protection system thereby avoiding virus invasion which brings data loss to users.  

  

Fortune is variable; the almost perfect prevention measure also has leaks. If Mac data has been lost, what can we do? Under Windows, we can use various kinds of data recovery software to recover lost data. But Mac occupies low market shares, and the HFS+ file system used in Mac OS is more complicated than NTFS and FAT. Therefore, under the dual predicaments of interest and technology, the data recovery software indicated for Mac OS platform is quite little.

Recently, the data recovery software released by MiniTool Solution Ltd. has solved this problem for Mac users. MiniTool Mac Data Recovery is a piece of Mac data recovery software developed for Mac OS operating system under Mac. It can perfectly support the data recovery in mainstream file systems in Mac OS, such as HFS+, FAT. With this software, users can avoid data loss caused by various problems to the largest extent thereby decreasing the losses caused by data loss to individuals or enterprises.

  

Jobs has brought perfect Apple to the world, so I believe Apple Inc. will continue the glory of Jobs' period and bring us various epoch-making products. At the same time, I hope it can perfect Mac, ensure Mac data security and prevent the Apple from being easily infected.
