No email address was provided to\r\ncontact the threat actor and the Bitcoin address is the same vor every victim, making it hard to verify who has\r\npaid.\r\nData/information about the system may have been stolen\r\nProtection\r\nMalwarebytes for Mac detects and removes OSX.ThiefQuest.\r\nRemediation\r\nMalwarebytes for Mac will detect and remove the components of this malware.\r\nDownload and install the latest version of Malwarebytes for Mac.\r\nClick the “Scan Now” button to perform a system scan.\r\nIf threats are detected during the scan, a count of detected threats is displayed.
