For instance, one phishing message was observed to target a user in Germany by baiting the user with a message regarding supposed inconsistencies in their tax returns (see image, and translation, below). The malware mostly targets European users. This is done by redirecting victim traffic through a malicious proxy server. Once OSX/Dok infection is complete, the attackers gain complete access to all victim communication, including communication encrypted by SSL. This new malware – dubbed OSX/Dok - affects all versions of OSX, has 0 detections on VirusTotal (as of the writing of these words), is signed with a valid developer certificate (authenticated by Apple), and is the first major scale malware to target OSX users via a coordinated email phishing campaign. But this is becoming less and less true, as evidenced by a new strain of malware encountered by the Check Point malware research team. People often assume that if you’re running OSX, you’re relatively safe from malware.
