New Malicious Adware Exploits Apple M1 Chip

Malicious adware called GoSearch22 is a malicious adware disguised as a Safari extension. Security researcher Patrick Wardle says the malware is capable of stealing browser data from its victims and acts as a persistent agent for further compromise. Wardle adds that the malware was first uploaded to VirusTotal in December 2020 and says it is the first-ever variant that can run natively on Apple’s M1 chips. The certificate of the malicious app has been revoked by Apple, noting that it is currently unavailable.”]
