Newly Discovered LockBit Mac Ransomware Doesn't Work—Yet
, the samples of ransomware encryptors seem to have first cropped up in the malware analysis repository VirusTotal in November and December 2022, but went unnoticed until yesterday. LockBit seems to have created both a version of the encryptor targeting newer Macs running Apple processors and older Macs that ran on Apple's PowerPC chips.
“It’s unsurprising but concerning that a large and successful ransomware group has now set their sights on macOS,” says longtime Mac security researcher and Objective-See Foundation founder Patrick Wardle. “It would be naive to assume that LockBit won’t improve and iterate on this ransomware, potentially creating a more effective and destructive version."LockBit is a Russia-based ransomware gang that emerged at the end of 2019.
