Malware attacks on Uyghur supporters running Mac OS X have been on the rise over the past two months. According to a joint report from Kaspersky and AlienVault Labs, hackers are sending out virus laden email attachments that if opened put monitoring malware on Mac devices. “During the past months, we’ve monitored a series of targeted attacks against Uyghur supporters, most notably against the World Uyghur Congress (WUC),” wrote Kaspersky director of global research & analysis team Costin Raiu in a blog post. “Although some of these attacks were observed during 2012, we’ve noticed a significant spike in the number of attacks during Jan 2013 and Feb 2013, indicating the attackers are extremely active at the moment.”
