Mac Users With No Anti-Malware at Risk!

Being a Mac users does not make you invincible from today’s current attacks.  In fact Mac users are being targeted!  This issue is even more of a threat because most Mac users run no type of anti-malware to protect there computer.  Your Mac computer is worth .43 cents!

Here is what a article had to say about this:

The Partnerka is the complex network of affiliates who profit from spam and malware. Run like a multi-level marketing scheme, if you’ve ever received an email which points you to a “Canadian Pharmacy” website, you’ve met the Partnerka.

Dmitry’s investigations are discussed on Paul Ducklin’s blog – but one thing that jumped out at me in his talk was that there is a faction of the Partnerka (which Dmitry has dubbed the “codec-partnerka”) which is dedicated to the sale and promotion of fake Mac software, designed to compromise your computer.

For instance, the website pictured above (which is no longer online – at least not currently) was recently offering $0.43 to its affiliates every time they managed to successfully install malware on users’ Apple Mac computers. And to help their affiliates in this scheme, they offer dangerous malware posing as fake video players.

I normally would link off to some sort of software that could be used, but I am not a Mac users so I really can’t offer anything.  Does anyone else know of anything?
