  • New malware targeting macOS users is being sold on Telegram

    sshssh
    These articles really need to include what's required for the software to get onto a Mac. If it can somehow get around GateKeeper, Xprotect, and the MRT, it's worth a focus. If not, that needs to be said, since no one should open up installation to applications which require overcoming the protections of those systems.

  • LockBit ransomware is now targeting Macs for the first time

    sshssh
    This article raises a number of unanswered questions:
    1. What are the mechanics of the malware? What does it attempt to do in exchange for a ransom?
    2. Does it have mechanisms for avoiding controls like GateKeeper, xProtect, and the MIR? What are they?
    3. What is there about the M1 in particular that the malware attacks?
    I suspect most of the answers to these and similar questions will show this malware to be of little threat. That said, it's possible there are vulnerabilities which need to be addressed, and if they are in the M1 itself, this may be difficult to do. Without details, it's difficult to assess.

    This seems to be a common theme in these kinds of reports, though. What's the practical impact of this discovery?
