New macOS malware, ObjCShellz, believed to be used by North Korean hackers, targets crypto exchanges. The malware is part of the RustBucket Campaign and allows attackers to deliver instructions and collect responses on Macs. The C2 server was taken offline, possibly indicating the malware's success or further development. Jamf identifies the group behind the malware as BlueNoroff, a financially motivated subgroup of Lazarus. The hardcoded C2 server and typosquatting suggest a phishing campaign targeting cryptocurrency. Despite the server being offline, the malware should not be ignored.
