ProfessionalServer is a type of malware that specifically targets Mac computers. It is categorized as a Trojan horse, which means it disguises itself as a legitimate program or file to trick users into downloading and executing it on their systems. Once installed, ProfessionalServer gains unauthorized access to the infected Mac and establishes a connection with a remote server controlled by cybercriminals.
To infect Mac computers, ProfessionalServer typically employs various deceptive techniques. It often spreads through malicious email attachments, software downloads from untrustworthy sources, or fake software updates. In some cases, it may also be distributed through social engineering techniques, such as phishing emails or pop-up ads that prompt users to download and install a seemingly harmless program. Once the user falls for the trick and executes the malware, ProfessionalServer gains access to the Mac’s system files and begins its malicious activities. These can include stealing sensitive information, downloading additional malware, or granting remote access to the cybercriminals behind it, allowing them to carry out further attacks or control the infected Mac for their own malicious purposes.
