Cyber-security firm Cybereason says it received cease and desist letters from an Israeli company they suspect is allegedly behind OSX/Pirrit adware strain. The company tried to block the company from publishing a new report on one of their products. Despite the legal threats, the company published its research earlier today, a report detailing the new tactics employed by the new malware. This is the third report published on the activities of OSX-Pirrit. The adware does not rely on rogue browser plugins and local proxy servers to inject ads in users’ web traffic but uses AppleScript to do so.
