he first Mac rogue software “MacSweeper“ appeared last year January – although AngelO (the developer) tried defending its software by replying to different forums and blog post.
Two months later, “iMunizator” appeared which is a repackage version of MacSweeper. This version has few improvement for example, the nagging pop-ups was removed as the authors tries to prove that their product has been modified for safe use.
Around January this year, “iMunizator” was spotted again online and serving rogue software. Obviously, they can’t sell it as researchers raised awareness about it. What do you expect?
February when MacPaw twit “CleanMyMac is Out”
How did I came across to this site? Oh, I was looking for the PoC Worm “Tored” -> Obviously, it’s not in-the-wild but definitely something to investigate.
Anyway, MacPaw website offers two software – “CleanMyMac” and “MacHider”. ”CleanMyMac” has exactly similar functionality and features as “MacSweeper” although this time it’s clean.
