In early 2017, experts discovered a malicious program for Apple computers. The software was called Fruitfly ("fruit fly") and was intended for obtaining various kinds of information: shoot screenshots, control the web camera, record keystrokes and so on. The strength of Fruitfly was that the virus was working on "poppies" for a long time and imperceptibly.

"Sequel" did not take long to wait, and now experts have found a new version of the "Fruit Fly" - even more formidable and harmful.

According to preliminary data, the number of infected computers is hundreds, 90% of victims live in the US.

Like the original Fruitfly, Fruitfly 2 acts imperceptibly, antiviruses can not detect the malware that interferes with the existence of myths about the total security of Apple's computers. The latter, by the way, has released an update for protection, but its effectiveness against Fruitfly 2 is questionable. At the same time, the "new" version of the virus may be older than the first.
