These attempts collect data such as unique computer identifiers, IP addresses, user names, macOS version, contents of the Applications folder and more, including things such as the version number of the Apple-installed Malware Removal Tool. “We see a lot of data collection in adware,” Reed said.

Merely because you’re working from home doesn’t mean you should install software sourced from torrents or cracked software sites on a work-critical machine.Īdware distributes itself in many different ways, including subverted copies of Safari that stealthily change settings, malicious profiles to force users to ad-peppered pages, even man-in-the-middle attempts to intercept network data and inject ads. (Some may recall the recent subverted Xcode exploit that also did this.)įor enterprise security chiefs, all three exploits should justify developing security policies to forbid installation of software (or other items, including movies and music) from sources outside of reputable App Stores, such as Apple’s own. What all three of these share is that they seek to install themselves on Macs by tricking users into installing something they think they can trust. Malwarebytes mentions three, Fallchil, DaclsRAT and GMERA, which create backdoors into affected systems and are mainly distributed as legitimate apps that have been subverted, open source apps or malicious Word documents.

Lazarus: North Korea’s Lazarus group is actively developing Mac malware.

It installs a virtual machine called Qemu, which runs a Linux-based crypto miner on the Mac.

BirdMiner: A cryptominer distributed via pirate versions of audio apps.

ThiefQuest presents itself as ransomware, but is in fact exfiltrating vast amounts of data from the Mac. These modified applications work, but also install malware.

ThiefQuest: Downloaded via torrent file-sharing sites using modified copies of legitimate apps made available on those sites.So, how are these attacks presenting themselves? Most of the malware affecting Macs relies on user error for installation, while the vast majority of the attacks are adware rather than something more sinister. Just 0.3% of identified malware on the Mac is truly threatening. “It’s not a large slice of the pie, but it’s still something to be wary of,” he said. Around 84% of the total examples of Mac malware are simply Potentially Unwanted Programs and adware, Reed says.
