Analysis of CoinThief/A “dropper”

There is no such thing as malware in OS X but last week another sample was spotted and made the “news”. I am talking about CoinThief, a malware designed to hijack Bitcoin accounts and steal everything (I must confess I laughed a bit; I think Bitcoin is just a bullshit pyramid scheme but I digress).
There are a few samples out there, in different stages of evolution, so this is probably not a very recent operation.
