Do you download pirated apps on your Mac? Be careful, as new research shows infected apps can hijack your Mac to mine cryptocurrencies virtually undetected.
Pirated software can cause all kinds of headaches, but Mac users might have thought themselves largely immune thanks to Apple’s reputation for solid security. Yet that complacency could prove fatal, as a new strain of nearly undetectable malware has shown.
Worse, Jamf Threat Labs says the malware remains almost entirely undetected by both antivirus software and Apple’s own security systems. That makes it a major pest to detect and remove. The malware is primarily distributed through torrents on The Pirate Bay shared by user ‘wtfisthat34698409672.’ This user has uploaded similarly cracked apps, including Adobe Photoshop and Logic Pro X, that also contain cryptojacking malware.
Ironically, however, Ventura only disables the legitimate part of the malware bundle — that is, the Final Cut Pro portion — while leaving the cryptojacking elements untouched. The good news is that the malware is not able to find a way past Apple’s Gatekeeper security protections without a user manually disabling them, which limits some of the damage it can cause.
