CoinVoice has learned that, according to Cointelegraph, North Korean hackers appear to have developed malware capable of evading Apple's security checks. Researchers at Jamf Threat Labs, which focuses on Apple, indicate that these applications seem to be experimental. This is the first time they have seen this technology used to infiltrate Apple's macOS operating system, but it does not run on the latest systems.
Researchers found that Microsoft's VirusTotal online scanning service reported these applications as harmless, but they actually contain malware. Variants of these applications are written in Go and Python, using Google's Flutter framework. Flutter is an open-source toolkit for creating multi-platform applications.
Five out of the six malicious applications have developer account signatures and have been temporarily notarized by Apple. Researchers stated: 'The domains and technologies in this malware are very similar to those used in other North Korean hacker malware, with indications that this malware was once signed and even temporarily passed through Apple's notarization process.'
