The command is responsible for downloading the malicious program and running it with full permission of the root, in turn the attack draws attention to reach users of Apple computers, which are rarely hit by digital pests.

Once installed on the computer, the virus gives full control of the system to those responsible for the virus, and the pest also steals the victim's root password and has full access to the keys to transfer the coins to other users.
