Administrators Marcos 4,703 Posted February 22, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 22, 2021 You'd see OSX/Agent.BL in the Detections panel. It's nothing new, detection was added in Sept 2020 to my best knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tafsir 0 Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 @MarcosI have gone through some documents and found that the new malware Silver Sparrow infecting Mac systems using the latest Apple M1 chip across the world. It is a macOS adware recompiled to infect systems running the Apple M1 chip. After reading more I came to know that this malware has two versions: 1. One variant of Silver Sparrow is designed for Intel x86_64 system architecture, 2. The other for both the previously mentioned architecture, as well as M1 ARM64. I am already using ESET Endpoint security. Do I need to bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Solution Marcos 4,703 Posted February 23, 2021 Administrators Solution Share Posted February 23, 2021 ESET protects you from this malware. As I wrote, detection was added last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
