Researchers have discovered a previously unknown macOS malware variant called GIMMICK, believed to be a custom tool used by a Chinese spy threat actor known as "Storm Cloud".

The malware was discovered by researchers at Volexity, who recovered it from the RAM of a MacBook Pro running macOS 11.6 (Big Sur), which was compromised during a cyber-espionage campaign in late 2021.
