Law enforcement agents are now investigating what appears to be a slice of malicious code that's been hitting Mac users in recent weeks and appears to be purely for targeted surveillance, though it's unclear whether it's for perverse reasons, or if it's government-related.

It appears to be old malware too, said Wardle. Comments in the FruitFly code included references to updates for Mac OS X Yosemite, first released in 2014, indicating the spyware was running before that.
