Mac users beware. North Korean hackers appear to be developing malware that can infect your computer.
Security firm Kaspersky Lab uncovered the macOS-based malware while investigating a hack at an unnamed cryptocurrency exchange in Asia. The breach was sourced back to an email that convinced a company employee to download a third-party app for trading virtual currencies.
Unfortunately, the app was a Trojan in disguise. According to Kaspersky, it contained a malware strain known as Fallchill, which has been linked to a notorious North Korean hacking group called Lazarus. Once infected, Fallchill can secretly take over your computer to steal data or install other malicious code.
