Yesterday, i reported a new Mac Trojan Sabpab. This new Mac Trojan is a backdoor malware which uses a HTTP channel and sends logs to the attacker. Now a new version of Sabpab has been discovered which do not use java to infect ths system. It exploit malformed word documents to infect Mac system.
If you try to open the boobytrapped Word document on any vulnerable Mac system, this new version of the OSX/Sabpab Trojan horse will automatically installs on that Mac computer. It also creates a backdoor for remote hackers to steal information or install further code.
This new version of Sabpab is totally different from the Flashback Trojan which has some similarities with older version of Sabpab.
This type of infection trick was earlier used by some attackers on Mac. In that Mac malware attacked on system embedding itself inside boobytrapped Word documents. Now the same method is being used in Sabpab.
