TOKYO (MacHouse) – We have found 10 websites hosted through Chinese country domains (.cn) distributing a Mac-targeting computer virus. Each of these websites comes with a few dozen subdomain websites. These websites pretend to host pornographic content. The index page says “This site contains explicit sexual material which may be offensive to some viewers. You must be at least 18 years of age…†If you click on a link that says ‘+18 Enter,’ the page content will switch and reference to an outside website hosted in San Francisco, California. Eventually, you will be forced to download a disk image (.dmg). This disk image contains a computer virus targeting Mac users. It’s designed to change DNS settings so that you will be forcibly redirected to malicious websites.

TOKYO (MacHouse) – We reported the existence of a fake PornTube website back in January. Since then, we’ve seen several other similar websites. And we found another one hosted with the domain of anykindclips.com. Actually, we first ran into a suspicious website hosted at another domain. It’s freese-x.net. If you access this website, you will be instantly redirected to the website at anykindclips.com with an affiliate ID of 4078. It’s a fake PornTube website obviously because the domain is not porntube.com. It’s a fake PornTube website because the clickable menu items (Sign Up, My Account, History…) at the top are intentionally disabled. And if you click on any of the video windows, you will be redirected to another website with the domain of anykindvids.com. That’s where you will be forced to download a Mac-OS-based disk image (.dmg) file containing a computer virus.
