Everything about OSX.Keydnap
MacOS X based Trojan horse
OSX.Keydnap is a MacOS X based Trojan horse that steals passwords from the iCloud Keychain of the infected machine. It uses a dropper to establish a permanent backdoor while exploiting MacOS vulnerabilities and security features like Gatekeeper, iCloud Keychain and the file naming system. It was first detected in early July 2016 by ESET researchers, who also found it being distributed through a compromised version of Transmission Bit Torrent Client. Wikipedia →
