Researchers at a Silicon Valley security company said on Wednesday that they had found a new manner in which hackers can infect Apple products. 周三,硅谷(Silicon Valley)一家安全公司的研究人员表示,他们发现了一种黑客攻击苹果(Apple)产品的新方式。 The company, Palo Alto Networks, reported that it had uncovered a malware campaign called WireLurker targeting Apple mobile and desktop users and said it was “the biggest in scale we have ever seen.” 帕洛阿尔托网络公司(Palo Alto Network)报告称,该公司发现了一种名为WireLurker的针对苹果移动设备及台式电脑的恶意软件,并称“这是我们见过的规模最大的恶意软件”。 Though the malware — malicious software designed to cause damage or steal information — is aimed at users in China and can be avoided, the campaign demonstrates new ways that attackers are targeting Apple iOS mobile devices. 虽然这款恶意软件——旨在造成损害或盗取信息的软件——针对的是中国的用户,而且能够避免,但此次行动展示了攻击者侵袭装有苹果iOS系统的移动设备的新方式。 The security company, based in Santa Clara, Calif., said that WireLurker had infected more than 400 applications designed for Apple’s Mac OS X operating system through the Maiyadi App Store, a third-party Mac application store in China. In the last six months, Palo Alto Networks said 467 infected applications were downloaded over 356,104 times and “may have impacted hundreds of thousands of users.” |
