WireLurker: A New Age In Mac OSX, iOS Malware

Malware dubbed WireLurker has been in active development for months, but has not yet done any real damage.

The attackers seem to have been fiddling with the malware without a coherent plan of attack in place.

The only data they ever extracted was information to help distribute the malware.”]
