Abstract
“ New information about the OSX/Crisis samples we spotted on VirusTotal is continuing to come to light. It turns out that the samples were submitted by a group of security researchers from DefensiveLab. They were submitting the files on behalf of a customer who was infected by the Trojan. The customer is a Moroccan journalist, and it appears that this infection is part of a larger attack that is being targeted against a group of independent Moroccan journalists who received an award from Google for their efforts during the Arab Spring revolution.
