BlockBeats News: On July 3rd, according to a report released by cybersecurity firm Sentinel Labs on Wednesday, North Korean hackers are using a new type of malware targeting Apple devices to attack cryptocurrency companies. Hackers impersonate trusted individuals on instant messaging apps such as Telegram, send fake Zoom update files, and actually install malicious software called "NimDoor". This malicious software is written in the rare Nim programming language and can bypass Apple's memory protection mechanism by deploying information theft programs specifically targeting cryptocurrency wallets and browser passwords. The Nim language is becoming a new favorite among cybercriminals due to its ability to run without modification on Windows, Mac, and Linux, as well as its fast compilation speed and difficulty in detection. The malware also contains scripts that can steal Telegram encrypted local databases and decryption keys, and will wait for 10 minutes before activation to avoid security scanning.
