If Mac EXE Virus is still being developed, there is a high probability that it will start gathering more sensitive data, such as saved logins/passwords, browsing history, etc.įurthermore, since it is capable of downloading various data, it might be used to proliferate other viruses. Therefore, there is a high probability that this virus is either still in development or is used to test whether the malware distribution method is effective. Mac EXE Virus then connects to the remote server and downloads several files to the ' ~/Library/X2441139MAC/Temp/' directory. At time of research, Mac EXE Virus gathered information that is not particularly sensitive (e.g., processor details, memory, etc.), however, it is promoted using a quite unique malware distribution technique. In addition, Mac EXE Virus checks if there are certain applications installed (the list of searched apps is below) and also sends details to a remote server. After successful infiltration, Mac EXE Virus immediately gathers various information about the system (the list of collected information is below) and sends it to a remote server. Mac EXE Virus functionality is rather basic.

Research shows that, as well as proliferating Mac EXE Virus, the cracked version of Little Snitch is also used to distribute adware and browser hijackers (e.g., TapuFind, Search Operator). This malware is distributed using an installation setup of a cracked Little Snitch version, which is a popular Mac/Windows Firewall app. MacOS does not support this format by default. Note that this malware is proliferated using an executable (.exe or EXE) file, which is developed for the Windows Operating System. Mac EXE Virus is a rogue application that infiltrates Mac computers and gathers various system-related data.
