Players itching to learn more about Sanctuary have a new, unique way to do so — through a Korean webtoon! Sanctuary's Strange Tale Korean Webtoon Diablo General Manager Rod Fergusson recently took to Twitter to discuss this webtoon, translated as «Sanctuary's Strange Tale.» While the webtoon currently does not have an English localization, those looking to see the original Korean version can find it here. The description of «Sanctuary's Strange Tale,» translated below, reveals that the webtoon delves into the lives of the normal citizens of Sanctuary, and the 'lesser demons' that plague the world:«This content is the Diablo IV brand webtoon <Sanctuary's Strange Tale> told by author Cho Seok.» The cruel story of Diablo IV's 'lower demons' and 'humans of Sanctuary'. While there is unfortunately no timetable on the English (or other language) localizations, Blizzard seems to be working on it — so hopefully we can see this fully localized soon!
Beware of 'OfficeNote' - Apple Mac malware in disguise available on Dark Web
23.08.2023 - 10:49 / tech.hindustantimes.com
A fresh Mac threat has emerged, and it's a revamped version of the notorious XLoader malware. This time, it's disguised as a productivity app called "OfficeNote." Here's what you need to know to keep your Mac secure.
XLoader has been causing trouble since 2015, but it usually targets Windows PCs. In 2021, a macOS version appeared, but it was distributed as a Java program, which was not very potent against Macs. Now, a new version of XLoader has surfaced, written in programming languages C and Objective C, according to a Tom's Guide report. What's more, it's signed with an Apple developer signature, making it appear legitimate.
Hackers have become quite clever. Instead of sending phishing emails with malware attachments, they're disguising XLoader as a fake productivity app named "OfficeNote." This deceptive tactic can trick unsuspecting Mac users into downloading it.
This malicious version of XLoader is hidden within the OfficeNote app installation file. While it was signed with a developer signature in July, Apple has since revoked it. Strangely, Apple's built-in XProtect malware scanner can't detect this threat.
XLoader is sold as a "Malware-as-a-Service" on the Dark Web.Hackers pay its creators to use it in their attacks. The macOS version is more expensive than its Windows counterpart: $199 per month or $299 for three months, compared to $59 per month or $129 for three months, Tom's Guide reveals.
When a Mac user tries to install OfficeNote, they receive an error message, making them think something's wrong with the program. But here's the sneaky part: XLoader secretly installs itself.
Once on your Mac, XLoader goes for the kill. It tries to steal passwords and other sensitive data from your clipboard. It also targets Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, going after cookies and other browser data. Oddly, it leaves Safari alone.
To stay safe, be cautious about downloading apps from untrusted sources. Stick to the Mac App Store and verified developers. Keep your Mac's software up to date, as Apple frequently releases security patches. Lastly, use reliable antivirus software that can detect and remove threats like XLoader.
