Note this is another FLASH malware and another reason to not have FLASH installed on your Mac or Windows computer. On the Mac it failed to work to steal any passcodes because to access the keychain requires the re-input of the user's password to access the password directly from the keychain.

A new malware found for Macs that is based on FLASH. . . But it doesn't work as it is an amateurish effort. Apparently written by someone in Iran, it appears to be targeted towards the US Military with Macs and Windows. Another good reason to not have FLASH installed on your computers! — PING!

Pinging dayglored for malware targeting both Mac and Windows.


Just SAY NO TO FLASH!
Ping!

I use Flash on Linux and haven’t seen any updates in the last week or so. I wonder if Linux is affected.
