A variant of the infamous Dridex banking malware has set its sights on Apple’s macOS operating system using a previously undocumented infection method, according to latest research.
It has “adopted a new technique to deliver documents embedded with malicious macros to users without having to pretend to be invoices or other business-related files,” Trend Micro researcher Armando Nathaniel Pedragoza said in a technical report.
Dridex, also called Bugat and Cridex, is an information stealer that’s known to harvest sensitive data from infected machines and deliver and execute malicious modules. It’s attributed to an e-crime group known as Evil Corp (aka Indrik Spider).
