Apple said that it is taking the threat seriously, plans to release a software update tackling the malware making sure its customer remains safe.
“To protect Mac users that have installed Java, today we are releasing an updated Java malware removal tool that will check Mac systems and remove this malware if found.”
BBC reports that Apple released a statement according to which “Apple has identified malware which infected a limited number of Mac systems through a vulnerability in the Java plug-in for browsers.”
“We identified a small number of systems within Apple that were infected and isolated them from our network. There is no evidence that any data left Apple.
