๐Ÿšจ Fake Cyber Onion Ad: Hackers hate this one weird trick.

Cybersecurity researchers have unveiled two new malware families that apparently didn’t get the memo about respecting personal space. Meet CHILLYHELL, a modular malware backdoor for macOS that not only wants access to your device, but also to your deepest, darkest secrets. Written in C++ for Intel architectures, it seems to have ambitions only slightly less outrageous than playing Minesweeper on a Mac.

And let’s not forget ZynorRAT, a Go-based remote access trojan that isn’t picky about its victimsโ€”Windows, Linux, your grandma’s flip phone, it’ll take whatever it can get. It’s like the door-to-door salesperson of the digital world, except instead of selling you a vacuum cleaner, it’s more interested in sucking out your data.

Jamf Threat Labs sounds the alarm on these digital interlopers while secretly wondering if CHILLYHELL and ZynorRAT are secretly just lonely malware looking for a platform to call home. With such equal-opportunity malware, it won’t be long before they start holding meetings to discuss which operating system’s cookies taste best.
