With fake job postings, these hackers target Apple Mac users

The notorious North Korea-based Lazarus hacking group is back in action, targeting Apple Mac users with fake job emails that contain malicious files.
Researchers at cyber-security firm ESET posted a screenshot on Twitter that showed fake job listings from leading crypto exchange Coinbase by Lazarus, famous for spreading the WannaCry ransomware globally in 2017.
The fake job listing was for an engineering manager, product security, at Coinbase.

The fake job emails have an attachment containing malicious files that can compromise both Intel and Apple chip-powered Mac computers.
