Context

SimpleTea is a RAT for macOS that is based on the same object-oriented project as SimpleTea for Linux (SimplexTea). It also shares similarities with POOLRAT (also known as SIMPLESEA), like the supported commands or a single-byte XOR encryption of its configuration. However, the indices of commands are different. SimpleTea for macOS was uploaded to VirusTotal from Hong Kong and China in September 2023.
