New MacOS Malware Linked to North Korean Hackers

Security firm Jamf has discovered a new macOS malware, likely used by North Korean hacking group BlueNoroff to target cryptocurrency exchanges. Named ObjCShellz, the malware is believed to be part of a larger campaign. It can execute MacOS commands from a remote server and log a victim’s responses. Jamf has been unable to examine the malware further due to the server being taken offline, possibly indicating the attackers have already achieved their aim. The malware’s comparatively simplistic nature my suggest it is still under development for future attacks.
