"Hackers Target macOS Users with Malicious Ads Spreading Stealer Malware"

Information stealers, including "Atomic Stealer," are being delivered to Apple macOS users through malicious ads and fake websites. According to Jamf Threat Labs, the infostealer attacks targeting macOS users involve different methods to compromise victims' Macs, but they all aim to steal sensitive data. One of the attacks targets users searching for Arc Browser on search engines such as Google, serving fake ads that direct them to lookalike websites distributing the malware. The malicious website cannot be accessed directly because it generates an error. It can only be accessed via a generated sponsored link, likely to avoid detection. The disk image file downloaded from the fraudulent website spreads Atomic Stealer, which is known to ask users to enter their system passwords through a fake prompt. This article continues to discuss findings regarding the ongoing infostealer attacks targeting macOS users.
