WARNING: New malware targeting macOS users is being sold on Telegram

CompuScoop Staff April 30, 2023 1

A new macOS malware being sold on Telegram is capable of extracting autofill information, passwords, wallets, and more — but it's easy to avoid. Here's how.

While Mac users don't often need to worry about malware as much as Windows users do, there are still malicious actors who target macOS. First spotted by Cyble Research, the Atomic macOS Stealer (AMOS) is a highly effective program designed to extract a wide range of information from a victim's computer.

Data that can be stolen by AMOS includes passwords saved in the Keychain, system details, files from the desktop and documents folder, and even the macOS user password.

It is specifically tailored to target popular browsers like Firefox and Chrome. From browsers, it can effortlessly extract autofills, passwords, cookies, wallets, and credit card information.
