SentinelOne Demo: SentinelOne VS RustBucket Trojan – macOS – Protection

In this video, we demonstrate how SentinelOne protects against the RustBucket variant targeting macOS users. RustBucket is noteworthy for the range and type of anti-evasion and anti-analysis measures seen in various stages of the malware.

The RustBucket campaign highlights that the threat actor, whom previous researchers have confidently attributed to DPRK’s BlueNoroff APT, has invested considerable resources in multi-stage malware aimed specifically at macOS users and is evolving its attempts to thwart analysis by security researchers.

The extensive effort made to evade analysis and detection in itself shows the threat actor is aware of the growing adoption of security software by organizations with macOS devices in their fleets, as security teams have increasingly begun to see the need for better protection than provided out-of-the-box. SentinelOne continues to track the RustBucket campaign and our analysis of the known payloads is ongoing.

SentinelOne can help safeguard your organization’s macOS devices.

In a July blog post, we review the multiple malware payloads used in the campaign and highlight the novel techniques RustBucket deploys to evade analysis and detection. https://www.sentinelone.com/blog/bluenoroff-how-dprks-macos-rustbucket-seeks-to-evade-analysis-and-detection/
