Researchers recently discovered a hybrid Trojan combining the finer points of Zeus and Carberp. I wrote extensively about both being used as banking trojans if you’re interested in a bit of further reading.

Two of the most infamous crimeware kits are Zeus, which is highly customizable but predominately used to pilfer various types of login credentials, and Carberp, which essentially does the same, though with a variety of different features. Crimeware kits are incredibly popular because, in part, they let criminals with little or no technical background launch targeted malware attacks. If you were a bad guy and you wanted a piece of malware that steals online banking credentials, you could go to a hacking forum and buy a license for one of these kits.

If things get dire, you may have to wipe or restore your iPhone. If that doesn’t work, then contact Apple support. Start with a password reset using iForgot. Use available services to whatever extent you can. And remember that if the email account you use to recover iCloud becomes compromised, so does your iCloud account.

It would be no surprise if this ransomware migrated to other continents in the coming day and weeks. Briefly put, this Apple threat is preventing users in and around Australia from accessing any of their applications before demanding a payment between $50 and $100.

If you want the full story, you can read about it on Threatpost or the Kaspersky Daily. There hasn’t been any real confirmation yet, but the overwhelming general consensus is that the attackers have compromised their victim’s iCloud accounts and are somehow locking users out from there.

However, we’ve got a few stories for you: specifically, an Apple-device targeting ransomware and a new hybrid malware emerged, and there was a small security incident involving the Spotify Android application.Īs we reported yesterday, a new piece of ransomware is making the rounds targeting Apple users on both the OS X (Mac) and iOS (mobile) operating systems. As is generally the case, short weeks are uneventful in the security news business. It was a short week in the United States on account of the Memorial Day holiday on Monday.
