Tech company collapse sparks shareholder battle with $14b chipmaker
A group of shareholders in failed ASX-listed technology firm Nuheara are battling to resurrect the once-promising hearing device maker, but must first defeat a legal challenge from $14 billion Taiwanese semiconductor giant Realtek. Perth-based Nuheara collapsed into administration last August after it was unable to refinance a $2.5 million loan from Realtek, which was its largest shareholder, amid struggling sales and consistent losses.

Tim Cook's Apple iToken Ad Is A Con, X Users Warned
Threat actors have been targeting Apple users for the longest time. I recently reported how Apple passwords were being stolen in a macOS attack impersonating a Realtek driver update, while the Banshee Stealer puts 100 million Apple users in the credential-hacking crosshairs. Indeed, if you needed any proof that a hacker target is hovering over Apple users heads, the fact that macOS infostealer attacks were up 101% in the last quarter of 2024 should provide it. The latest threat takes a bit of an off-ramp from the usual password-stealing stuff though, and heads into straight-up financial fraud with a little bit of help from a faked X advertising campaign, a phoney Tim Cook endorsement, and an offer to get ahead of the crowd and preorder Apple iToken crypto. I'll admit it, I'm an Apple fanboy and would likely be interested in most anything with an 'i' prefix to be fair. Whether that would stretch to cryptocurrency in the form of an Apple iToken is unlikely, as I'm not really a wannabe crypto bro. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for many Apple fans, and crypto investors, for that matter. At least, that's what the threat actors behind the iToken scam are working on. They are also, it would appear, hoping that their target victim is going to be a user of X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter and home to an active and highly vocal cryptocurrency community. Threat analysts working at Silent Push have uncovered a financial fraud campaign that employs all of the above, plus a little bit of Tim Cook, in order to try and get victims to part with their cash. Silent Push investigators were made aware of the campaign after spotting what appeared to be an advert on X, published May 1, that promoted an Apple iToken. The advertising URL displayed pointed to CNN for added gravitas and believability. This was, the Silent Push report said, achieved by using a 'known exploit for spoofing a URL on X/Twitter.' The crypto presale scam exploited the premise of an official Apple iToken release being forthcoming, and even went so far as to use a fake endorsement from Apple CEO Tim Cook himself to bolster the air of trust. Anyone clicking on the advert would be redirected to the presale website where an account would need to be created and payment made from any of 22 crypto wallets to pay for the non-existent crypto token. 'We found nearly 90 sites going back to 2024,' the researchers warned, 'with almost identical financial lures, all appearing to be from the same threat actor group.' This Apple iToken scam campaign's ability to spoof a visible X advertising URL is, the Silent Push report warned, 'a novel method for tricking potential victims, one only occasionally seen in the wild.' I have reached out to X and Apple for a statement and will update this article if any is forthcoming. In the meantime, don't get taken in by these scammers: there is no Apple iToken, Tim Cook has not endorsed it, CNN is not buying advertising promoting it.

Apple Passwords Attack Warning — Do Not Install This Update
This update could unlcok your Apple passwords. Although Microsoft users are more used to being on the receiving end of warnings about password compromise attacks, that doesn't mean that Apple fans can be complacent. As 19 billion stolen passwords are confirmed as being published to public forums online, and the FBI issues do not click alerts, Apple Mac users are the latest to be told do not: do not download this update or your Apple passwords could be vulnerable. Here's what you need to know. The days of users of Apple's macOS platform being able to think they were safe from cyber attackers are over. The truth is they never really existed at all. Windows is, without doubt, exposed to a greater number of attacks than macOS, not least due to market share, but that really doesn't make one operating system safer than the other. Especially, it must be said, when the human factor meets technological threat evolution. I have been warning about the danger of malware targeting macOS users for the longest time, with Apple password-stealing attacks high on my alert list. Indeed, in February, I reported how data theft attacks against Apple users had surged by 101%, if you want any further evidence of the clear and present threat to Mac users. A May 5 report from MacPaw's cybersecurity division, Moonlock, has confirmed just how dangerous the password-stealing Mac threat really is. The macOS malware campaign starts with a fake Realtek driver update notification and is believed to be the work of North Korean hackers, according to Mykhailo Hrebeniuk, a macOS security researcher at Moonlock.'Under the hood,' Hrebeniuk said, 'the updated attack delivers an infostealer, a type of malware designed to harvest Mac login credentials, Apple Passwords data, and browser cookies.' I have contacted both Apple and Realtek for a statement and will update this article if I receive any further information. The current macOS malware campaign involves five steps, as follows: The security researchers at Moonlock Lab have, Hrebeniuk said, seen a 340% increase in infostealers targeting Apple passwords through macOS malware campaigns. In this case, the campaign is a receded one that was first observed in April and labelled Contagious Interview, but has now evolved away from using a job offer social engineering lure to a Realtek driver update one. 'As the recycled malware campaign shows,' Hrebeniuk said, 'instead of creating a totally new kind of malware, hackers can simply fine-tune the old one to avoid detection.'
