AusCERT Week in Review
27 May 2011

A part of the AusCERT conference that has generated a lot of interest from within the security community is the annual AusCERT and SC Magazine awards ceremony. We're pleased to be the facilitator for these awards, as they recognise achievement on the part of both individuals and organisations toward excellence in this growing sector. We only hope that the awards continue to gain recognition and respect and assert themselves as the pre-eminent accolade for a practitioner (or vendor) of ICT security to this community. To peruse the winners of the AusCERT awards (chosen by the AusCERT team), visit:

Mac OS X malware has been a focus this week, with Mac users fooled into installing fake anti-virus programs. If installed - names this malware goes by include MacDefender, MacSecurity, MacProtector or MacGuard - this malware generates additional false virus detection alarms and causes the default web browser to load pornographic web sites in its attempts to convince the user to pay for 'registration'. The point of contact with this malware is, commonly, a result of the user following a poisoned search result that redirects to an infected site. We've seen at least one report that a variant of this malware doesn't require an administrative password for its installation.
