Key Takeaways
- M1-optimized malware rau Apple qhov tseeb Macs tau pom 'hauv qus.'
- Cov pob Apple Silicon-optimized no tsis phem dua li Intel-raws li malware.
- Qhov kev nyab xeeb tsawg tshaj plaws ntawm koj lub computer yog koj, tus neeg siv.
Malware twb tau tsom mus rau M1 Mac processor tshiab, nrog tsawg kawg ob qhov kev siv pom "hauv qus." Tab sis nws tsis zoo li yuav phem dua li cov malware uas twb kis rau Intel Macs.
Apple's M1 Macs yuav tsum, hauv txoj kev xav, muaj kev nyab xeeb dua li cov tshuab uas lawv hloov. Lawv siv Apple tus kheej Apple Silicon chips, uas tau ua tiav kev tshem tawm iOS malware rau xyoo. Tab sis ntau ntawm iPhone thiab iPad qhov kev ua haujlwm tsis zoo yog poob rau kev ua haujlwm. iOS tau tsim nyob rau hauv lub ntuj raug txim ntawm kev ua phem tawm tsam, thaum Mac tau tsim nyob rau lub sijhawm uas tsis muaj kab mob thiab phishing. Puas yuav M1 nti ua qhov txawv? Tej zaum tsis yog.
"Kuv yuav muab cov lus teb ncaj nraim rau koj, ncaj ncees, thiab tsis zoo siab heev," Dr. Richard Ford, tus thawj coj thev naus laus zis ntawm lub tuam txhab kev ruaj ntseg Cyren, hais rau Lifewire ntawm email, "tsis muaj laj thawj tshwj xeeb rau kev txhawj xeeb txog M1 Mac Malware-tsawg kawg, tsis dhau thiab siab dua cov malware uas muaj niaj hnub no rau Intel-based Macs."
Zaj Dab Neeg So Far
Ob qhov piv txwv ntawm M1-optimized malware tau kawm txog tam sim no, tab sis tsis muaj dab tsi tshwj xeeb. Lawv tsuas yog versions ntawm cov malware uas twb muaj lawm, rov ua dua kom khiav ib txwm nyob ntawm Apple Silicon hardware.
Ib tug tau tshawb pom los ntawm Patrick Wardle, tus kws sau ntawv kev ruaj ntseg thiab tus tsim ntawm qhov chaw ruaj ntseg Objective-Saib, thaum rov tsim nws tus kheej software los khiav ib txwm nyob ntawm M1 Macs. Wardle pom tau hais tias cov kws sau ntawv malware yuav ua tau zoo ib yam, thiab tau teeb tsa los tshawb nrhiav Apple Silicon-optimized malware. Nws pom ib tug version ntawm ib tug zoo-paub daim adware npe Pirrit. Nyob rau hauv cov ntaub ntawv no, nws nruab nws tus kheej raws li ib tug Safari extension.
Thaum peb nyiam xav txog 'zoo nkauj' malware uas ua rau cov xov xwm, ntau qhov kev tawm tsam niaj hnub tsis txawm koom nrog ntau tus lej.
Lwm qhov tsis ntev los no tau tshawb pom M1-native malware hu ua Silver Sparrow. Cov kws tshawb fawb txog kev ruaj ntseg Red Canary tau tshawb pom cov pob no, thiab nws tau kis mus rau yuav luag 30,000 Macs thaum nruab nrab Lub Ob Hlis. Zoo li feem ntau Mac malware, qhov piv txwv no yuav tsum tau teeb tsa los ntawm tus neeg siv. Feem ntau lawv tau dag rau qhov no, los ntawm phishing emails lossis los ntawm kev hnav khaub ncaws malware ua qhov hloov tshiab.
Txog tam sim no, ob Apple Silicon-optimized pieces ntawm malware tsis qhia qhov tshwj xeeb. Wardle qhov kev tshawb pom tsuas yog ib pob malware uas twb muaj lawm, rov ua dua rau M1, thiab Silver Sparrow tsis ua dab tsi ntxiv dua li nruab nws tus kheej. Tej zaum nws tsuas yog kev sim lossis pov thawj ntawm lub tswv yim.
Tsis tas li, Mac malware uas twb muaj lawm tuaj yeem ua haujlwm zoo hauv Rosetta 2, Apple cov txheej txheem txhais lus, uas tso cai rau cov ntawv sau rau Intel Macs khiav seamlessly ntawm Apple Silicon Macs. Malware tsuas yog software xwb, tom qab tag nrho, yog li qhov sib txawv tsuas yog nyob rau tam sim no yuav yog qhov malware ib txwm ua haujlwm nrawm dua thiab ua tau zoo dua ntawm Apple Silicon.
Dab tsi txog iOS?
Tam sim no hais tias lub Mac sib koom ua ke chip architecture nrog lub iPhone thiab iPad, puas yog nws muaj peev xwm ua tau malware tuaj yeem cuam tshuam ntawm ob?
"Vim li cas M1 zoo li cov chips hauv ib qho khoom siv iOS thiab yuav ua li cas cov kev khiav hauj lwm zoo li zoo sib xws, nws zoo li xav nug yog tias malware rau Mac sawv cev rau qhov muaj qhov tsis zoo rau iOS," kev ruaj ntseg kws sau ntawv Charles Edge hais rau Lifewire ntawm email, "tab sis qhov ntawd zoo li tsis zoo li, muab ntau npaum li cas kaw, lossis sandboxed, lub platform iOS no. Xwb, peb txuas ntxiv mus pom Mac puag ntau ntawm cov qauv kev ruaj ntseg ntawm iOS."
Tsis muaj laj thawj txhawj xeeb tshwj xeeb txog M1 Mac Malware.
Qhov no coj peb mus rau kev tiv thaiv tseem ceeb tiv thaiv kev tawm tsam: kev ua haujlwm nws tus kheej. Hauv iOS no, txhua lub app khiav hauv "sandbox." Ntawd yog, nws tsis tuaj yeem cuam tshuam nrog, lossis txawm paub txog, lwm cov apps lossis qhov chaw ntawm lub operating system. Qhov no ua rau txhua yam sib xyaw ua ke thiab nyab xeeb.
Nyob rau hauv xyoo tas los no, Apple tau sim coj Mac rau tib qho kev taw qhia, tab sis nws nyuaj. Thiab vim hais tias cov apps tuaj yeem ntsia tau los ntawm txhua qhov chaw, tsis yog App Store xwb, nws ib txwm ua tau tus neeg siv tuaj yeem raug dag rau kev txhim kho malware ntawm lawv lub cuab yeej. Thiab tej zaum peb txoj kev xav ntawm malware li "cov kab mob hauv computer" yog dhau los lawm.
"Thaum peb nyiam xav txog 'zoo nkauj' malware uas ua rau cov xov xwm, "hais tias Cyren's Ford, "ntau qhov kev tawm tsam niaj hnub tsis txawm koom nrog ntau txoj cai. Xwb, cov neeg phem lub hom phiaj cov neeg siv los ntawm phishing tawm tsam siv cov ntaub ntawv. Cov ntaub ntawv no muaj cov lej tsawg-tsuas yog txaus kom tus neeg siv mus rau qhov chaw phishing nws tus kheej."
Thaum kawg, qhov yooj yim tshaj plaws ntawm koj lub computer yog koj. Apple thiab Microsoft tuaj yeem tsim txhua yam kev ruaj ntseg uas lawv xav tau, tab sis yog tias cov neeg siv nyem qhov tsis ncaj ncees lawm, lossis nruab malware lawv tus kheej, ces txhua qhov kev twv yuav raug kaw.
