Eltima Software's website was compromised recently and their Elmedia player was modified by hackers. The new distributed version of Elmedia Player contained macOS information stealing trojan known as OSX/Proton. The same malware was distributed earlier this year through a popular macOS application – HandBrake, which was also trojanized. This trojan malware is capable of stealing a lot of data from affected computers including history, cookies, bookmarks, and browser log-in data; cryptocurrency wallets; SSH authentication keys; macOS keychain data; Tunnelblick VPN configuration data; PGP encryption keys and data stored in password management applications. So if you own a Mac computer – stay alert for such vulnerabilities!
