The Lazarus Group is distributing a new variant of the Dacls RAT targeting macOS systems via a trojanized application, installing a hidden executable and attempting persistence.

The Mac Malware of 2019 report details various Mac malware specimens and variants, including CookieMiner, a cryptominer that steals user cookies and passwords, likely to give attackers access to victims' online accounts and wallets; CookieMiner persists via launch agents and exfiltrates browser cookies to a remote C2 server.

The Lazarus APT group is distributing a macOS backdoor named AppleJeus via a fake cryptocurrency trading application called JMT Trader, persisting through a launch daemon and communicating with the C&C server beastgoc.com.

The Lazarus group's macloader malware (OSX.AppleJeus.C) uses a launch daemon for persistence and executes downloaded payloads directly from memory, communicating with a C2 server to retrieve second-stage payloads, posing a significant threat due to its fileless execution and potential for repurposing.

The Lazarus APT group is distributing a trojanized macOS application named UnionCryptoTrader.dmg that installs a launch daemon for persistence, downloads and executes secondary payloads in-memory, and communicates with the command and control server unioncrypto.vip.
