A new type of man-in-the-middle attack has been detected in the wild, targeting Apple's Mac. Dubbed OSX/DOK, it relies on a new strain of macOS malware which leverages a bogus security certificate to bypass Apple's Gatekeeper protection. Popular anti-virus programs are currently unable to detect OSX/DOK.
The Hacker News and researches at CheckPoint explain that the malware affects all versions of macOS by using a valid developer certificate signed by Apple. Here's what OSX/DOK does, how it works, how to tell if you're affected and what you can do to protect yourself and avoid these kinds of attacks in the future.
