Abstract

“ Symantec reported new malware for Mac last month that we called OSX.Crisis. Kaspersky then reported that it arrives on the compromised computer through a JAR file by using social engineering techniques.

The JAR file contains two executable files for both Mac and Windows. It checks the compromised computer’s OS and drops the suitable executable file. Both these executable files open a back door on the compromised computer. However, we found two special functions in the Windows version of the threat that Symantec detects as W32.Crisis.
