A new worm for Mac OS X and would circulate


It is now circulating a new worm for Mac OS X called Tored this spreads through email and calendar. Tored opens a backdoor into the system so that it can be controlled remotely, also incorporates a keylogger that can record information such as our passwords.

It was reported to be implemented Tored need user intervention, so we ensure that when you open contaminated mail this worm is not being implemented, a relief for many who like to review everything and get to your mail soon. It was also reported that this worm is distributed through an SMTP server nonexistent.

Tored was discovered by the company Intego last April 22, the company said that in his belief there would be only a proof of concept created with Real Basic (used in malware is very rare, contain bugs and not working as it should be ). Symantec reported that few affected machines, this worm is also easy to remove and is not harmful, very good news for all users of Mac OS X.
