#ESETResearch warns of a new campaign using a fake Salesforce update as a lure to deploy the Sliver malware for macOS and Windows 1/9

The Mac infection chain is very similar to a COVID-19-themed campaign documented by SentinelOne last week. sentinelone.com/blog/from-the-… 2/9

This new campaign uses an additional GoLang Mach-O executable that downloads and runs the bash script used to deploy Sliver. 3/9

The shell script to deploy Sliver is very similar to the one found by SentinelOne, except it doesn’t include the “covid” malware and only installs the Sliver implant, which is sufficient to deploy additional malware if needed. 4/9

The download page includes a link to a PDF with instructions on how to disable macOS security features. 5/9

The Windows variant also uses a downloader written in GoLang to deploy Sliver. 6/9

Also interesting: it seems Salesforce credentials are phished before landing on the download page. 7/9
