I have the same thing happening. Isn't it odd that it's on the same day? Google it now and every entry is from today, within the last 2 hours.

I'll do a text level search of the whole drive and report back if I find something.

The malware then creates a launch point by creating "~/.MacOSX/environment.plist", containing the following lines:

<key>DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES</key>
<string>/Users/Shared/.libgmalloc.dylib</string>

For some reason I didn't had a environment.plist even if I'm infection type 2

One of us is confused. In this entry Re: .rserv wants to connect to cuojshtbohnt.com you told us you did have it.

1. I thought Creation Date: 03-apr-2012 means first registered date ever. And there's no history but this entry.

2. Does the trojan itself changes the url it connects to? Or does it come with one fixed url?

Three domains names that I mention before, registered by us. This helped us to estimate size of botnet.

Each subversion of BackDoor.Flashback.39 generates a list of C&C servers (about 50-60). We registered first server in list. Here second server according to subversion:

1 - vxvhwcixcxqxd.net

2 - cuojshtbohnt.net

4 - rfffnahfiywyd.net

LysaM, it's not registered yet.

I haven't had the ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist

Then how were you able to read it?

Matt Durben wrote:


defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment

{

"DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES" = "/Users/Shared/.libgmalloc.dylib";

}


means I'm infected?

There's a 406kB .libgmalloc.dylib in the specified folder.


What exatly does this trojan? Unfortunately I installed Little Snitch few days after a strange program wants to have my password to install something. I declined, but from what I read that does not matter?!


It had to have been there at the time.

I'm sure we are all glad that so many folks with Little Snitch survived the attacks this weekend and that Apple has closed one of the doors on this thing, but for anybody that still feels this was no big deal, according to this article http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57409619-83/ there are still over half a million Macs still Flashback infected (including 274 just down the street from where I sit), so I suspect our work has only begun here.

Mad, I've asked you this in the Leopard forum already, so sorry for the duplication. Do you know if ClamX has got this thing covered, at least for the known variants through yesterday or the day before, perhaps?


I've got my son a bit worried now. I gave him all the places I know about to check and he comes up clean, but I may not know them all, so thought it might be wise to run an AV.


If not, do you know -- or anyone else, maybe -- if Intego's VirusBarrier X6, the demo version, will scan properly for this? I know they are claiming the full version, at least, can.

Well, I wasn't going to reinstall my system, but now I'm seeing this "music manager" window pop up/under. It comes up for about 5 seconds and disappears. The window looks like a recently downloaded app window with Google's music manager. I do have music manager installed, but I downloaded that a long time ago. This has been a little frustrating to say the least.

Just got hit with this today.


Found ~/.rserv trying to make connections to various urls.


Apparently launched by:


feynmanliang@vlan409-128: ~/Library/LaunchAgents

$ l [17:19:17]

total 40

drwx------ 12 feynmanliang staff 408 Apr 5 11:49 ./

drwx------+ 58 feynmanliang staff 1972 Apr 5 13:16 ../

-rw-r--r-- 1 feynmanliang staff 497 Mar 30 19:38 com.adobe.reader.plist

com.adobe.reader.plist in user launchagents directory.
