Israeli cybersecurity company Guardz has issued a warning about a new form of Hidden Virtual Network Computing (hVNC) malware specifically targeting macOS devices.

The malware is offered at a price of $60,000 and is advertised as having capabilities that pose a threat to small and midsize enterprises (SMEs).
