> one mystery remained. How was this malware infecting victims, and how was its creator spreading it around.
> The attack vector included the scanning and identification of externally facing services, to include the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP, port 548), RDP or other VNC, SSH (port 22), and Back to My Mac (BTMM), which would be targeted with weak passwords or passwords derived from third party data breaches.
- askmike 8y agoBetween your two quotes you are missing this one: > But this mystery was solved earlier today by Wardle
- jacquesm 8y agoNo, it was solved by the FBI, Wardle merely communicated that it had been solved.
- Buge 8y agoIt depends on what "it" refers to. If "it" refers to no one except Durachinsky knowing how it spread, then yes, "it" was solved by the FBI a long time ago. If "it" refers to no one outside the FBI and Durachinsky knowing how it spread, then "it" was solved earlier "today" by Wardle.
