Cryptocurrency Exchange in Japan suffers Attack from JokerSpy macOS Backdoor

This month, an unknown cryptocurrency exchange in Japan was the victim of an macOS backdoor called JokerSpy.

The toolkit also includes Swiftbelt, a Swift-based enumeration tool inspired by an open-source utility called SeatBelt.

The company behind the tool, Elastic Security Labs, describes it as a somewhat sophisticated toolkit designed to breach macOS machines.

The company’s investigation led to the discovery of another similar flaw called JokerSky, which was first discovered by Bitdefender.

An unknown cryptocurrency exchanges located in Japan were the target of a new attack earlier this month to deploy an Apple macOS backdoor named Joker Spy.

Elastic Security Labs reports that the malware installed a tool called Swiftbelt on the infected machines.

Unlike other enumeration methods, Swiftbelt invokes Swift code to avoid creating command line artifacts.
