A new backdoor Trojan for OS X is making the rounds, attempting to set up a secure connection for a remote hacker to connect through and grab private information.
The malware, dubbed “Pintsized” by Intego, is suspected of using a modified implementation of OpenSSH to set up a reverse shell that creates a secure connection to a remote server.

I love to learn, and the computer world gives me an opportunity to do that! All of my knowledge is either School or self-taught or absorbed from friends/associates who are more knowledgeable in other computer related areas. I love networking and web design, though oftentimes you'll find me at a client's home helping them with their personal computer problems.
Running my business has allowed me the freedom to work when clients need me and yet not miss out on valuable family time. My kid thinks it's normal to have Daddy around working on computer during the night, I feel very fortunate.
Please understand that I work with computers because I love to. I enjoy what I do, I enjoy working with my clients and I would love the opportunity to earn your business!
