New Mac cryptominer Malwarebytes detects as Bird Miner runs by emulating Linux

Malwarebytes finds a new Mac cryptominer called Bird Miner in a cracked installer for the high-end music production software Ableton Live. The software is used as an instrument for live performances by DJs, as well as a tool for composing, recording, mixing, and mastering. The code uses a randwd script, placed during the install process, to generate random names from a wordlist. The malware seems to want to avoid any mention of Nazis or Hitlerwords that actually can be found in the wordlist.”]
