What is Pasteboard?

Currently, it is difficult to say with any certainty what the exact effects of an attack by Pasteboard Mac App may be because this virus is very new and more research needs to be done on it. That being said, as we pointed out earlier, one of the typical things you can expect from a Trojan is for it to try to gain Administrative rights in your computer, so that the hacker behind the malware program can carry out various malicious tasks and processes in the system. Oftentimes, the Trojans try to use the resources of the infected machine for BitCoin mining, and for spam message distribution. In such cases, the infection creates a network of all the infected computers, which are controlled as one single unit of operation. The hacker can then task the computers in this network (called botnet) to carry out all kinds of shady activities – we already mentioned the spam and the crypto-mining, but there could also be DDoS attacks, rigging of Internet polls and more. A Trojan may also spy on your activities or keylog your keyboard in order to learn you passwords and maybe even your online banking account numbers. There’s no need to tall you in what unpleasant ways such information could be sued if it falls into the wrong hands. There are also many more possibilities with regard to the way a Trojan could be used, the important thing is to make sure the threat is removed before it has managed to cause any serious damage to your system and virtual privacy.
