North Korea-linked Lazarus tries to steal cryptocurrency with macOS malware
North Korea-linked hacking group Lazarus has been spotted running a new malware campaign targeting macOS environments, researchers said. The attack used fake video meeting invitations and social engineering to trick victims into running specific commands, enabling malware to download in the background and evade controls. The final stage deployed an information-stealing tool that collected browser data and macOS keychain items and sent them via Telegram. Researchers said targets extended beyond crypto firms to fintech and other companies.
