VMware’s Carbon Black team warns that the ChromeLoader malware is now delivering malware such as ZipBomb and the Enigma ransomware to business services and government organizations.
ChromeLoader was first identified as a Windows-specific threat in January 2022; a MacOS variant was discovered in March.
