Patrick Wardle showed how an attacker can repurpose someone else s Mac malware, create false attribution flags and sidestep Mac anti-malware defenses. Wardle laid out a soup-to-nuts attack strategy that likely could be in use by adversaries today. He highlighted several Mac signature-based malware defenses woefully inadequate when it came to fending off the attacks he created. Far more effective at detecting and warding off threats is a behavioral and heuristics approach to identifying Mac threats, he said.
