Last year, Apple launched its first computers powered by the company's own hardware, prompting many developers to code apps specifically for the new M1 processors. Now hackers are following suit, too.

Patrick Wardle, an independent security researcher who develops free security tools for Macs, said he has found what may very well be the first example of a malicious application developed natively for the new ARM M1 processors. In a blog post published on Wednesday, Wardle analyzed an application that appears to be a new version of an infamous adware for MacOS.
