Cybersecurity researchers have taken the wraps off a previously undocumented spyware targeting the Apple macOS operating system.
The malware, codenamed CloudMensis by Slovak cybersecurity firm ESET, is said to exclusively use public cloud storage services such as pCloud, Yandex Disk, and Dropbox for receiving attacker commands and exfiltrating files.
“Its capabilities clearly show that the intent of its operators is to gather information from the victims’ Macs by exfiltrating documents, keystrokes, and screen captures,” ESET researcher Marc-Etienne M.Léveillé said in a report published today.
