Scammers waste no time in exploiting Steve Jobs’ death
As much of the world mourns the passing of Steve Jobs -- one of the technology industry's greatest visionaries -- the bottom feeders of the cyber crime world are greedily exploiting the tragedy through scams promising unwitting users a chance to win a free iPad.
Sophos has reported in its Naked Security blog on one such scam already circulating via Facebook that reads as follows: "In memory of Steve, a company is giving out 50 ipads tonight. R.I.P. Steve Jobs," followed by a tailored bit.ly link ending with "restinpeace-steve-jobs." Clicking the link takes users to one of countless malicious Web pages.

Revir Malware for OS X Undergoes Revision
Recently a new PDF-based malware threat for OS X was discovered that displays a Chinese PDF file while it installs and runs its malicious code in the background. While the initial version of this malware (OSX/Revir.A) was detected over a week ago, the criminals developing the code are busy revising and refining it, and over the weekend a variant has been identified (OSX/Revir.B). As with all malware, new versions of these threats are likely to surface in the future, and as they do, expect malware detection utilities (including Apple's XProtect) to follow close behind and label them alphabetically as they appear.
