North Korean-Linked Hackers Were Caught Experimenting With New macOS Malware (2 minute read)
Three variants of a new macOS malware have been detected. One variant was written in Python, one in Golang, and one using Flutter, which heavily obfuscates code by default. The malware was embedded in a clone of Minesweeper. No evidence of exploitation has been found – the callback domain returns a 404. The malware appeared to target cryptocurrency developers. It had several of the hallmarks of a Lazarus group attack.

If someone would make an App Store that certified apps as “malware free”, then I bet they could make a lot of money. I’d just surcharge the app’s price by a dollar or two. Maybe even just charge a fraction of a bitcoin.
If I was younger and richer, then I’d try to exploit that niche. Alternative App Stores to Google Play and Apple Apps Stores. The EU and the US Gooferment are going to force Google and Apple to support alternatives. So you have to make that alternative App Store have a significant value proposition.
