Multiple versions of the ReaderUpdate malware variants, written in Crystal, Nim, Rust, and Go, are targeting macOS users, according to SentinelOne researchers.
ReaderUpdate, a macOS malware loader, first appeared in 2020 and was later found delivering Genieo adware.
The malware variants are distributed in five different source languages, including Go, Crystal, Nim, Rust, and compiled Python.
The malware obfuscates strings and URLs, making it difficult to analyze and detect the threats it poses.
