MaMi malw.are targets Mac OS X DNS settings.
A researcher has discovered a strain of malware in the wild which targets Mac OS X users.

The malware, dubbed MaMi, was first spotted by security researcher Patrick Wardle.

The researcher spotted a forum post on Malwarebytes in which a user said a colleague "accidentally installed something" and this led to DNS hijacking.

Despite the user removing the DNS entries, the address changes, 82.163.143.172 and 82.163.142.174, remained persistent.
