Tafsir 0 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Hi, How can we quickly run a report to see if any of our Macs are infected or vulnerable by Silver Sparrow? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Administrators Marcos 3,634 Posted February 22 Administrators Share Posted February 22 You'd see OSX/Agent.BL in the Detections panel. It's nothing new, detection was added in Sept 2020 to my best knowledge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tafsir 0 Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 @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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Administrators Solution Marcos 3,634 Posted February 23 Administrators Solution Share Posted February 23 ESET protects you from this malware. As I wrote, detection was added last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
