MAC.OSX.Blackhole is a Trojan infection. A trojan (sometimes referred to as a Trojan virus or Trojan horse virus) is malware that stealthily infiltrates users’ computers and performs various malicious tasks. The term ‘Trojan’ originates from a well-known historical event in which Greeks used a decoy to enter the independent city of Troy and win the war. The malware uses the Trojan name, since it employs similar tactics. Users are made to believe that they are downloading a Flash Player update or opening a legitimate email attachment, but in fact they are infecting their computers with malware.

After successful infiltration, trojans usually attempt to gain remote control of vulnerable Mac computers, record users’ Internet browsing behaviour, steal banking details and passwords from users’ keychains (password management systems), and perform other malicious tasks. The main task of a trojan infection is to stay undetected for as long as possible. Therefore, these types of infections are difficult to spot and often go unnoticed.

How did MAC.OSX.Blackhole install on my Mac?

Trojan infections are not as widely proliferated on Mac computers as those running the Windows operating system. Most commonly, Trojans are distributed using infected email attachments and fake downloads. Users are tricked into opening a seemingly harmless CV, invoice, or other document attached to a (supposedly legitimate) email. Rather than receiving the required file, however, they inadvertently infect their systems with malware. Another Trojan distribution source is fake downloads. For example, rather than installing a Flash Player update, Mac users inadvertently infect their computers with a Trojan.

How to avoid getting your Mac infected by Trojans?

To remain safe when browsing the Internet, never trust websites that demand you update Flash Player. If you do wish to update it, the only safe source is the official Adobe website. Do not download software cracks or various keygens (key generators). Visiting Torrent websites also poses a high risk of infection.
