The Oslo Freedom Forum is an annual event "exploring how best to challenge authoritarianism and promote free and open societies."

 

This year's conference (which took place May 13-15) had a workshop for freedom of speech activists on how to secure their devices against government monitoring.

Our Mac analyst (Brod) is currently investigating the sample.

It's signed with an Apple Developer ID.
