Security researchers have discovered a new piece of malware that targets Mac OS X users and installs a remote-control backdoor on compromised machines. The malware, called Olyx, was discovered in a package that also contained some Windows malware and researchers say that the Mac backdoor is remarkably similar to the Gh0st RAT that was used in the infamous Ghostnet attacks in 2009.
