San Francisco: SECURITY researchers have discovered a mysterious malware on nearly 30,000 Apple Macs and they have no idea what this is for and how is this virus going to infected the devices.
The malware named 'Silver Sparrow' comes with a mechanism to self-destruct itself, a capability that's typically reserved for high-stealth operations.
"So far, though, there are no signs the self-destruct feature has been used, raising the question of why the mechanism exists," Ars Technica first reported about the presence of malware citing security researchers.
The lack of a final payload suggests that the malware may spring into action anytime. The malware has been found in 153 countries with heavy detection reported in the US, the UK, Canada, France and Germany.
