A recent discovery by Kaspersky highlights a sophisticated macOS malware distributed via cracked software, targeting cryptocurrency wallets. This malware operates in stages, beginning with a deceptive "Activator.app" that tricks users during installation. It progresses to downloading encrypted scripts from C2 servers, ultimately aiming to replace legitimate cryptocurrency wallets with infected versions to steal credentials. The malware shows technical ingenuity, notably using DNS server TXT records for covert communications.
