A new trio of Mac malware…

…or two examples of malware and one of adware, if you don’t feel threatened by adware.

Decent article by Dan Goodin for Ars Technica: After hiatus, in-the-wild Mac backdoors are suddenly back – Three new pieces of Mac-targeting malware access webcams, passwords, and more.

The article discusses:

• The malware BitDefender calls Backdoor.MAC.Eleanor (commentary by Thomas Reed for Malwarebytes here)
• The malware ESET calls OSX/Keydnap
• The adware Cybereason calls OSX/Pirrit
