Trojan.MacOS.Sig.LA is a generic Trojan horse detection that infects Mac computers. Its main objective is to penetrate systems, perform its malicious activities, and remain unnoticed for as long as possible. As a Trojan horse provides its operators with full remote access to the compromised system, infection with such a malware threat can have severe consequences for users, including financial losses, data damage, and identity theft. Spam email campaigns that spread malicious attachments are considered as the most likely distribution channel of Trojan.MacOS.Sig.LA.
Once installed on a macOS machine, Trojan.MacOS.Sig.LA can be used to steal passwords, record keystrokes, take screenshots and pictures, install additional malware, delete important files, and many other destructive actions and processes. Though Trojans are designed to operate in the background in order to stay unnoticed for a long time, there might be some general symptoms that could raise the user’s concern. The PC could get much slower all of a sudden, there could be some unexplained changes in certain settings, error messages or system warning may show up, or the user may notice logins from unknown locations into their online accounts.
Suppose you experience any of these and believe your Mac computer might be infected with a Trojan horse. In that case, we suggest installing a professional anti-malware application that can detect and remove this sophisticated threat.
