Malware authors use a new trick to circumvent macOS Catalina defenses

Security researchers discovered an unusual malware campaign targeting Mac computers that gets around the security mechanisms built into macOS Catalina. The devious scheme recently added to Mac malware makers’ genre allows harmful code to bypass Apple’s app notarization process. This security routine has been a part of the Gatekeeper feature since the October 2019 release of macOS Catalina 10.15. It raised the entry bar for suspicious software by displaying a popup alert whenever a user tries to execute an unverified program.
