"Rust-based Realst Infostealer Targeting Apple macOS Users' Cryptocurrency Wallets"

Realst is a new malware family targeting Apple macOS systems. A third of the samples are already designed to infect macOS 14 Sonoma, the upcoming major release of the operating system. The malware is written in the Rust programming language and is distributed as fake blockchain games. It can empty cryptocurrency wallets as well as steal stored passwords and browser data from Windows and macOS devices. Realst was first found in the wild by the security researcher known as iamdeadlyz. Phil Stokes, a security researcher at SentinelOne, noted that Realst Infostealer is spread via malicious websites advertising fake blockchain games with names such as Brawl Earth, WildWorld, Dawnland, Destruction, Evolion, Pearl, Olymp of Reptiles, and SaintLegend. Each variation of the bogus blockchain game has its own website and associated Twitter and Discord accounts. This article continues to discuss the capabilities and distribution of the Realst malware.
