Apple Takes Step to Prevent Further Spread of 'Silver Sparrow' Malware on Macs - MacRumors

Over the weekend, we reported on the second known piece of malware compiled to run natively on M1 Macs.

Nonetheless, Apple has since informed MacRumors that it has revoked the certificates of the developer accounts used to sign the packages, preventing additional Macs from being infected.

Apple also reiterated that Red Canary found no evidence to suggest the malware has delivered a malicious payload to Macs that have already been infected.

For software downloaded outside of the Mac App Store, Apple said it has "industry-leading" mechanisms in place to protect users by detecting malware and blocking it so it cannot run.
