user: Apple's Mac operating system sees more malware threats in 2015
Apple’s operating system faces more threats from malware in 2015 than the past five years combined.

That’s the takeaway from a research report released on Wednesday by security firm Bit9 + Carbon Black. The report describes how the firm’s researchers discovered an influx of malware attacks on the Mac OS X in 2015 compared to previous years.

The rise of malware attacks targeting the Mac OS X makes sense because sales of Apple AAPL computers have gone up while PCs sold by rival vendors have declined. Apple’s increased computer sales “represents a growing attack surface for sensitive data,” the Bit9 + Carbon Black report stated.

A report by International Data Corporation released last week noted that Apple, which saw a 3.4% decline in third quarter PC shipments, continues “to outperform other vendors” while passing Lenovo as the third biggest supplier of PCs in the United States.

For a ten week period, Bit9 + Carbon Black researchers analyzed over 1,400 malware samples that targeted the Apple operating system. They found that 948 of the samples appeared in 2015 compared to 180 samples that were traced back to 2010 through 2014.

The authors also noted Apple’s push to sell more to business means more corporations will buy Apple computers. Companies that use cyber security tools tailored to work with the Windows operating system may find themselves at risk with their Apple devices, which require different security safeguards.

In August, security company FireEye FEYE released a report that said hackers discovered a way to crack into Apple devices through malicious apps that look legitimate.

Cypriot Soccer Club Shows How to Do a Lot With a Little
Yet the Nicosia team has reached the last 16 of the Champions League despite its limitation of $13.5 million, while the English giants Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City and huge-spending clubs in Eastern Europe are struggling to make that knockout stage.

Small wonder that Nicosia erupted in street celebrations through midnight Wednesday. Its team of lesser-known Brazilians, Portuguese and others froze out Vladimir Putin’s favorite club, Zenit St. Petersburg, in Russia.

All Zenit needed was a goal, but Apoel wouldn’t give it one. The Cypriot club is undefeated in five Champions League games, and another 0-0 put it into the round of the elite. “This night for me is a miracle,” said Apoel’s much-traveled, oft-ejected 31-year-old midfielder, Gustavo Manduca. “The game was tough — the cold was something we weren’t used to — but as time went on we grew more confident.”

Manduca had dreamed, back in his native Brazil, of playing in the later stages of the Champions League. “I never imagined it would happen when I arrived in Cyprus,” he said. “I hoped, but it’s hard to believe it has happened.”

With the final round of group matches scheduled for early December, Apoel is assured of its place alongside Arsenal, Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, Benfica, A.C. Milan, Inter Milan and Real Madrid.

But, except for Arsenal, the big spenders of the English Premier League are struggling.

A few months ago, when Arsenal couldn’t keep the star players Cesc Fàbregas, Samir Nasri and Gaël Clichy from leaving, the fans and the media began questioning Arsène Wenger’s ability to continue coaching the team. A horrendous 8-2 defeat at Manchester United compounded the criticism.

Even last week, the French sports newspaper L’Équipe interpreted Wenger as suggesting in an interview that he could step down at the end of this season after 15 years in charge at Arsenal.

Wenger contends that he merely answered a question about whether he might resign if his team is no better at the end of the season. He says his response was that Arsenal is the club of his life, and if he was no longer able to manage it successfully, it could be a duty to let someone else try.

On Wednesday, after Arsenal beat the German champion Borussia Dortmund, 2-1, in London to qualify for the last 16 for the 12th consecutive season, Wenger was sanguine.

He spoke, as most of the 60,000 people inside the stadium were doing, predominantly of the remarkable year that Robin van Persie is having.

Van Persie has inherited the captaincy from Fàbregas, and inherited the mantle of goal scorer in chief from a previous captain, Thierry Henry. By rising to head one goal, and swooping to poach a second, van Persie took his tally of goals in 2011 to 38 from 41 matches.

He is playing as the leader of attack, but that is not his natural position. He likes, as many Dutch players do, to be what is known as a shadow striker, lurking behind a main central attacker, creating and exploiting space.

But after years when his body seemed to rebel against the physical load of the English league, van Persie now is so much the main man that Alex Song, who created the first goal for him Wednesday, admits that there is an extraordinary dependency on the Dutchman doing it for them.

“Van Persie is in a period where he doesn’t have to look for goals,” said Wenger after the victory. “They just come to him. It looks easy, but it isn’t.

“He’s there because he understands the game so well.”

Wenger’s opponent, Jürgen Klopp, agreed. “I’m not sure if van Persie is the best striker in Europe at the moment,” the German said. “But he is among the best. I have hardly ever seen a player who plays so deep, but is so dangerous in the box.”

Klopp’s own team, disrupted by a broken jaw to Sven Bender and a bruised knee to Mario Götze, both in the first half, scored in the last minute through Shinji Kagawa.

That goal by the Japanese player proved typical of the spirit of endurance by German teams. And in another Anglo-German match, Chelsea fell prey to two late goals in Leverkusen.

Chelsea’s run at the moment is causing despair to those who hoped that the team’s owner, Roman Abramovich, had finally found in the young Portuguese Andre Villas-Boas a coach he could trust in the long, rather than short, term.

But defeats are trying Abramovich’s patience. Four of them in the Premier League, and now a 2-1 loss after Chelsea was in position to win in Leverkusen, do not calm the atmosphere around one of the world’s wealthiest clubs.

Villas-Boas had, again, chosen to leave Fernando Torres sitting idle on the bench. This for a player whom Chelsea had paid £50 million, or more than $77 million, to acquire last January. His preference for Didier Drogba appeared vindicated when, at 48 minutes, Drogba used formidable muscle and considerable skill to turn two German defenders and score.

By then, Chelsea goalie Petr Cech had twice thwarted the former Chelsea player, Michael Ballack. Ballack, playing his 100th European match, also struck the crossbar.

But it was a substitute, Eren Derdiyok, who first broke Chelsea’s defense with a goal in 17 minutes from the end, and then a defender, Manuel Friedrich, headed in the winner for Leverkusen just seconds from the end.

Defensive frailty is becoming a worrisome Chelsea habit. Its last chance to qualify comes two weeks from now, against a Valencia side that on Wednesday ran rampant with seven goals against the hapless Belgian side, Genk.
