New Mac Malware Variant

I've seen more Mac malware in the last year than I have in my entire career, and it seems like every week I read an article about a new threat. This week, the news is that the OSX/Crisis malware is back!

A fresh new version of Hacking Team’s RCS (Remote Control System) spyware has been uncovered. This sample of malware is unusual insomuch as it uses a variety of techniques to avoid detection and analysis, being obfuscated with different encryption methods.
