Apple’s Mac systems have been exposed to a dangerous new piece of malware that allows attackers to take full control of OS X.

Bitdefender researchers found the malware in the EasyDoc Converter app which poses as a drag-and-drop file converter but actually has no functionality other than downloading the malicious script onto the machine.
