Uptycs, a cybersecurity company that discovered the information-stealing malware while searching for threats on the dark web, is warning that Mac computers have been the latest targets of updated info-stealing malware.
The iCloud Keychain can easily access cryptocurrency wallets with the help of MacStealer. This is an innovative malware that steals your credentials from your web browsers, cryptocurrency wallets, and potentially sensitive files stored in your iCloud Keychain.
The MacStealer malware is distributed as malware-as-a-service (MaaS), whereby the developer sells pre-built builds for $100, allowing customers to run their marketing campaigns and spread the malware to their victims.
On the dark web, cybercriminals use Mac computers as a breeding ground to launch malware and conduct illegal activities. This makes the dark web a prime place to conduct illegal activities and launch malware.
Upon discovering the newly discovered macOS malware, the Uptycs threat research team reported that it could run on multiple versions of Mac OS. This included the current Mac OS, Catalina (10.15), and the latest and greatest Apple OS, Ventura (13.2).
