"New 'MetaStealer' Malware Targets Intel-Based macOS Systems"

MetaStealer, a new malware designed to steal information from Intel-based macOS computers, has been discovered in the wild. MetaStealer, not to be confused with the 'META' information stealer malware that gained popularity last year, is a Go-based malware capable of evading Apple's built-in antivirus technology XProtect. SentinelOne reports that it has been tracking the malware for the past few months and has observed a strange social engineering component in its distribution. Although the malware shares some similarities with Atomic Stealer, a Go-based macOS-targeting information stealer, the code overlap is limited, and the delivery methods differ. This article continues to discuss the MetaStealer malware that steals a wide variety of sensitive information from Intel-based macOS computers.
