KandyKorn macOS malware lobbed at blockchain engineers

North Korean hackers known as the Lazarus Group are manipulating MacOS malware KandyKorn to attack cryptocurrency exchange platforms.

The malware waits for commands from the server, allowing it to access computers, run additional destructive payloads, and steal data. These attacks aim to bypass international sanctions and generate revenue for North Korea.
