A new and suspicious malware is detected from Intel and M1 macOS and is now on 30,000 laptops from the Cupertino-based tech giant.
According to Mashable, the malware, named "Silver Sparrow," was discovered by Red Canary, a security operations firm in Denver, Colorado.
The operations firm stated on their blog that they were keeping a close eye on the malware for over a week and stated that the "Silver Sparrow" activity is still a mystery.
'Silver Sparrow' has two types
Meanwhile, Red Canary researchers also discovered that "Silver Sparrow" has two different types; one was built entirely for Intel-powered Macs, while the other is compiled specifically for Apple's new M1 chipset.
