North Korean state hackers have debuted a fresh Mac malware targeting users in the US and Japan, which researchers characterize as "dumbed down" but effective. Since earlier this year, researchers from Jamf Threat Labs have been tracking a BlueNoroff campaign they call "RustBucket," targeting MacOS systems. "The fact that they are able to accomplish their objectives using this dumbed down malware is definitely notable." The binary was uploaded once from Japan in September, and three times from a US-based IP in mid-October, the Jamf researchers added. In light of BlueNoroff's successes stealing crypto, Bradley urges Mac users to stay as vigilant as their Windows brethren.
