Jamf uncovers new Mac malware linked to known hacking group

Jamf Threat Labs has discovered a new malware, ObjCShellz, possibly linked to cybercriminal group BlueNoroff. The malware was not recognized as a threat by VirusTotal, and connects to an attacker-controlled server that impersonates a legitimate cryptocurrency platform. The strain is designed using Objective-C, a Mac software language, and acts as a remote control for the breached computer. Mac users can protect themselves by updating their systems and apps, downloading from trusted sources and by monitoring their financial accounts.
