Mac trojan OSX/CoinThief.A discovered by SecureMac

SecureMac, a seller of anti-malware apps, has documented its detection of a new "Trojan Horse" malware for the Mac, entitled OSX/CoinThief.A. The malware installs fake browser extensions, which spy on web traffic with the ultimate aim of stealing a users' Bitcoins. The program is disguised as a "pre-compiled" version of a legit app to send and receive payments on Bitcoin Stealth Addresses called StealthBit (which has since been taken down in an effort to combat the malware). Once installed, OSX/CoinThief.A acts as a dropper, and installs browser extensions in Safari and Chrome that monitor all web browsing traffic looking specifically for the log-in credentials for popular Bitcoin websites.

OSX/CoinThief.A's browser extensions are entitled 'Pop-Up Blocker', and display a generic description. Additionally, the malware checks to see if various security programs or code development tools are present on the system, likely to block security researchers from analyzing it.

A trojan is NOT a virus. Please correct the article.
