How could something this virulent be going unnoticed? I've literally watched it replace log files with blank versions containing only two lines of text and doing this to all the log files on the computer. It also appears that it's a self-rooting code set, it appears to be introduced through Safari Web Kit, it Spams the log so it ruins any useable information due to being delected resulting from tens-of-thousands of log entries. Once it hijacks the computer it deletes log files, sets up remote desktop access. It trys to obtain the icloud login credentials, it attempts to obtain administrator credentials, and on one computer it appears to have secured and stolen my credentials to completely hijack the computer. From what I can tell, it tries injecting itself in every executable it can locate. This activity on my computer appears to be a nasty virus. I've spent something like 40 labor hours on this so far and I can't afford anymore resource allocation to this issue until there are some steps to cure the system. As soon as I connect the newly reinstalled OS iMacs to the infected network they become reinfected on first boot. I have clean formatted and reinstalled OS from computers on an isolated network that was not infected. That is when I first started noticing erratic behavior on my machines. I apparently have a self propagating virus that was introduced to my network by purchase of a used Mac computer from on approximately December 24, 2015.
