North Korean hackers have been identified as deploying a new malware known as FERRET, targeting macOS users through fake job offers and disguised software updates. The hackers pose as recruiters on platforms like LinkedIn, luring victims into downloading a compromised 'software update' that steals sensitive data and drains cryptocurrency wallets. This campaign is part of a broader strategy by the Lazarus Group, which has also been linked to a cross-platform JavaScript stealer that targets crypto wallets. While Apple's latest XProtect update has blocked some threats, vulnerabilities remain, allowing some malware to bypass security measures. Additionally, attackers have been targeting the education sector by hijacking Microsoft accounts, further highlighting the ongoing risks in cybersecurity.
