Condition Remains GREEN

There have been various Facebook viral videos which are directing users to download sites related to MacDefender malware, mainly MacGuard variant. Facebook has finally taken down the sites.

We recommend the following:

  • Block 77.79.11.0/24 and 77.79.12.0/24
  • Make sure that you have updated your Mac and have installed the latest security update.
  • Criminals always use what works until it doesn't so expect them to alter the installation process.
  • Do not get wrapped up in hype, this malware is now in a controlled state. 
  • Do not install software if you did not go looking for it. 
  • Consider using a Anti-Virus product. 
  • If you install any version of MacDefender do not panic, use this script to remove it
