[QUOTE="Cr00zng, post: 1704165, member: 318059"] The fact that in this case it had been attached to the an open source project is pretty much irrelevant. What is relevant on the other hand is that this ransomware actually did work on OSX. The same malware could easily be modified and added to other software, more mainstream, to be delivered. In addition, this possibly opens up other ways to deliver malicious payload, not just "built-in" to other programs. And that could be interesting down the road, but time will tell... [/QUOTE]
