Abstract

“ A backdoor called OSX/NetWeirdRC has been found that affects OS X (versions 10.6 and higher), Windows, Linux and Solaris. Much like OSX/Crisis, this is a commercial remote access tool that was leaked to Virus Total. This malware appears to be in the wild, but the risk is considered low at this time. It is not known how the malware would arrive, though presumably it would be part of a targeted attack and it would come with a custom dropper or entice the user to run a file through social engineering.
