Researchers Make Decryptor For ThiefQuest Ransomware Publicly Available
Malicious software for Mac computers encrypts files on compromised systems. It is improved ransomware. It also allows, in addition to encryption, to steal data and take full control of the infected device. Initially, it was called EvilQuest. It was later renamed ThiefQuest to avoid confusion because EvilQuest is the name of the video game. Security researcher Patrick Wardle noticed that the installers are not signed, and macOS warns against opening them. Unfortunately, there is a large group that ignores system warnings and installs malware.
