The earliest known variants of Taidoor were first observed in 2008, but the latest variants detailed in the report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/cisa-dod-fbi-expose-new-chinese-malware-strain-named-taidoor\/\">appear to have been in the wild since early 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">According to the report, the FBI &#8220;has high confidence that Chinese government actors are using malware variants in conjunction with proxy servers to maintain a presence on victim networks and to further network exploitation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The report concludes with a number of recommendations for protecting computers from Taidoor and other threats, first and foremost: use antivirus software, and keep it up to date.<\/p>\n<p>The Taidoor variants described in the report are designed to infect Windows operating systems. If a Mac variant comes to light, we&#8217;ll be sure to let you know.<\/p>\n<h3>Privacy news stories<\/h3>\n<p>For the rest of this week&#8217;s privacy news\u2014including how T-Mobile shadow-banned customers for sending texts containing the word &#8220;belly&#8221;\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OwwZFSJSZE8&amp;list=PLL1eIqHwwN-MY4WwZvjNYcqo02CbtoB7J\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">watch this eight-minute video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can subscribe to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/Privateinternetaccess?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Private Internet Access YouTube channel<\/a> and click the \ud83d\udd14\u00a0to get notified when new videos are uploaded each Friday.<\/p>\n<h3>More security news, plus Apple news<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/intego-mac-podcast\/id1293834627\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-71818\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intego.com\/mac-security-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/ios9-podcasts-app-tile-150x150.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 50px) 100vw, 50px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intego.com\/mac-security-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/ios9-podcasts-app-tile-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.intego.com\/mac-security-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/ios9-podcasts-app-tile-32x32.png 32w, https:\/\/www.intego.com\/mac-security-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/ios9-podcasts-app-tile-50x50.png 50w, https:\/\/www.intego.com\/mac-security-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/ios9-podcasts-app-tile-64x64.png 64w, https:\/\/www.intego.com\/mac-security-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/ios9-podcasts-app-tile-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/www.intego.com\/mac-security-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/ios9-podcasts-app-tile-128x128.png 128w, https:\/\/www.intego.com\/mac-security-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/ios9-podcasts-app-tile.png 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"2337344131\" \/><\/a>For more weekly news and commentary, particularly about Apple and security topics, <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/intego-mac-podcast\/id1293834627\" rel=\"noopener\">subscribe<\/a> to the <a href=\"https:\/\/podcast.intego.com\/\"><strong>Intego Mac Podcast<\/strong><\/a>.
