Des chercheurs en sécurité ont découvert ce qu’ils pensent être la toute première attaque par ransomware ou rançongiciel ciblant les utilisateurs de Mac d’Apple. Cette menace est actuellement active sur Internet et se diffuse via un logiciel de téléchargement de fichiers Torrent.

Cette attaque a été détectée en toute fin de semaine dernière par des chercheurs de Palo Alto Networks. Ces derniers ont donc identifié un ransomware, "KeRanger", dissimulé au sein d’un client BitTorrent populaire sous OS X, Transmission.
