RadioDiskInput is a type of malware that specifically targets macOS systems. It is categorized as a Trojan horse, which means it disguises itself as a legitimate or useful program to deceive users into installing it. Once installed, RadioDiskInput performs malicious activities without the user’s knowledge or consent.
One way RadioDiskInput infects Mac systems is through software bundling. It may be included as an additional component in seemingly harmless software downloads or updates. When users install the bundled software, they unknowingly also install RadioDiskInput. Another method is through malicious email attachments or infected websites. Users may receive an email or visit a compromised website that prompts them to download a file. This file contains RadioDiskInput, which is executed upon opening, initiating the infection process.
Once infected, RadioDiskInput can perform various harmful activities on the compromised Mac. It may collect sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, and financial data, by logging keystrokes or capturing screenshots. This information can then be used for identity theft or other malicious purposes. RadioDiskInput may also create backdoors in the system, allowing remote hackers to gain unauthorized access to the infected Mac. Additionally, it can modify system settings, install additional malware, or display unwanted advertisements.
