It has reportedly been used in targeted attacks at biomedical research institutions.
The malware, which Malwarebytes' software detects as ‘OSX.Backdoor.Quimitchin', contains code that dates before OS X. Some of the code even shows signs of potentially running on Linux, leading the team to believe that the malware may have had or has a form of it on that operating system as well. The malware was discovered when an IT administrator noticed irregular outgoing network activity from a specific Mac.
Containing just two files, the malware uses a hidden script to communicate back to servers, take screenshots on both Mac and Linux, and grab the system's uptime.

Malwarebytes did further digging into the malware and discovered it had even gone through changes to 'support' Mac OS X Yosemite indicating the malware is at least older than late-2014.

Using old system calls the way it does, the malware's developers could have purposefully made these code choices to avoid detection.
Malwarebytes indicates that Apple calls this malware Fruitfly and that an update should be released soon to resolve the issue.
