VERY IMPORTANT

Threat actors have come to recognize the reality that today’s organizations operate fleets of devices encompassing all the major OS vendors – Apple, Microsoft, Google and many flavors of Linux – and are adapting accordingly. Threats that can be compiled on one platform but produce executables targeting many are a productivity boon to criminals, who now operate in an increasingly competitive environment trying to sell their wares. The latest such threat to come to attention is XLoader, a Malware-as-a-Service info stealer and keylogger that researchers say was developed out of the ashes of FormBook. Unlike its Windows-only predecessor, XLoader targets both Windows and macOS.
