By Luis Magisa We’ve seen a diverse range of methods cybercriminals use to trick potential victims, but this one is certainly unusual. Our latest analysis revealed that even illegal cracking software programs are being taken advantage of by cybercriminals to lure users into installing malicious apps. In this particular case, we found a malicious app posing as Adobe Zii (a tool used to crack Adobe products) targeting macOS systems to mine cryptocurrency and steal credit card information.Technical Analysis
The malicious app, which was sourced from VirusTotal and first reported by Malwarebytes , arrives in the target system as “Adobe Zii.app.”
MacOS Malware Steals Credit Card Info
uploadminer.sh contains routines capable of stealing saved information from Google Chrome browsers. Target information includes origin URL, username, password, and credit card name, number, and expiration date.
Autostart Technique and Cryptocurrency-Mining
The malware also downloads a plist file from hxxp://46[.]226[.]108[.]171/com[.]apple[.]rig2[.]plist and saves it to ~/Library/LaunchAgents. The plist file will be used to launch xmrig2 to mine cryptocurrency. It also downloads a plist file from hxxp://46[.]226[.]108[.]171/com[.]apple[.]proxy[.]initialize[.]plist, which contains encrypted Python commands identical to the one that checks if Little Snitch is running and connects to the encrypted Empyre backend. These plist files are loaded into the system through the launchctl command, enabling them to run at startup.
