I've been hacked last Monday. A scammer fooled my trust to make me install a malware on my Mac. Which did its malware job. I spent hours changing all my internet passwords and blocking my credit cards when I realized what had happened...
But then I counterattacked : I found the malware program, and analyzed it.
I ran it again inside a debugger (!) and after a long fight I found its embedded encrypted AppleScript script. So now I know what it stole and how it did it. (Quite bad but not as bad as I feared). I even know to which server it sent my data and the userID of the scammer.
How can I contribute to a better world by providing my analysis (the programs, the script, the servers, the process I used) to people who know what to do with it ? Not a company selling anti-malware but a FLOSS community.
Thanks
