Two new malware that threatened Mac users emerged

 
Although Mac systems are known for their safety, they may face new threats from time to time. Finally, two new malware were detected by security researchers. One of these software is corrected by Apple with an update to be released within this week, while there is no definite solution for the other.
 
Malse software using the parallels deficit
 
According to Macworld, security researcher Mickey Jin discovered a vulnerability in the Parallels virtual machine. This is due to the security weakness of Parallels, running Windows, Linux and Old MacOS versions. This vulnerability, especially affecting Intel -based Macs, has the potential to provide root access to attackers. However, the risk level is considered relatively low as physical access is required to take the attack.
 
The Parrallels team continues to work to close the vulnerability. Parallels Desktop 20.2.2 and 19.4.2 versions will be released this week to resolve the problem.
 
Password Thief: Frigidstealer
 
Other malicious software, Frigidstealer, can be run remotely and focuses on password theft, especially. The attack process, which started with users' deceiving by e-mail, continues with a message claiming that the user should update the browser through a fake web page.
 
When the user clicks the "Update" button, a harmful loader is downloaded to Mac device. To overcome Gatekeeper security, the user is asked to open the file with the "Control" key. If the user applies these steps, the Frigidstealer becomes activated and starts to steal the passwords on the device.
 
Apple and security experts warn users to be careful against suspicious e-mails and make updates from official sources.
