New MacOS Malware, Signed With Legit Apple ID, Found Spying On HTTPS Traffic

Malware Research team at CheckPoint have discovered a new piece of fully-undetectable Mac malware. The DOK Mac malware is being distributed via a coordinated email phishing campaign. The malware has been designed to gain administrative privileges and install a new root certificate on the target system. Apple has revoked the legitimate developer certificate used by hackers behind the DOK malware that can be used to eavesdrop on victim’s communication including secure HTTPS traffic. Apple rolled out an update this weekend to its anti-malware software to prevent future DOK-type malware attacks.
