The joy of finding the Mac OS X Trojan horse RSPlug.M in the wild.
This is using Mac OS X 10.5.7, Safari 4.0.2 and Intego Virus Barrier 5X.
The Trojan horse changes the DNS settings on the compromised Mac.
Video made with iShowU and Quicktime.

  • Omg this is exactly what happened to me. I didn't open the file though, am I infected still?

  • Like the name trojan suggests, you have to open the dmg, run the installer and enter your pw. Hard to make Mac do things without the full set of steps. So I feel your safe. many free anti virus options for mac too. :)

  • how did you get it?

  • Just looking in google, then off to a video site.

    The site pushed down the tiny 'flash' dmg.

    Nothing was infected, just shows the "your using a Mac, you need this dmg" idea.

  • @livelife276 You sir are a major bonehead.

  • FAIL! get sophos anti virus and you wont get viruses on your mac. and its FREE

  • So what happens if you try to watch the dodgy video on Windows or Linux?

  • you have to enter your root password? are you kidding me? :D

    even myself - not a coder at all - managed to write some applescript which acts like a trojan horse, and does NOT require root privileges. in case you wan't to see it action, i uploaded a proof of concept video a while ago.

    and trippleLOL for the "removing DLL (sic)" animation.

  • Its now HD :)

    UVC web cam search :)
