"MacOS Malware Has a New Trick Up Its Sleeve"

Malwarebytes researchers discovered that a newer version of the Atomic Stealer macOS malware has a new technique that enables it to evade the operating system's Gatekeeper. The malware, which was first advertised in April 2023, is an information stealer capable of grabbing passwords from browsers, Apple's keychain, files, cryptocurrency wallets, and more. According to Malwarebytes researcher Jérôme Segura, criminals who buy the toolkit have been distributing it mainly through cracked software downloads but are also impersonating legitimate websites and using ads on search engines to lure victims. In the most recent delivery campaign observed by the researcher, the malware poses as TradingView, a well-known platform and app for monitoring financial markets. Potential victims are redirected by a malicious ad to a phishing site spoofing that legitimate platform's page. This article continues to discuss the new version of the Atomic Stealer macOS malware.
