Banshee Stealer malware operation shuts down after source code leak. The cybercriminals behind Banshee Stealer, a macOS malware that was marketed for $3,000 a month, have reportedly ceased operations following the leak of its source code. The leak, which was reported by Vx-Underground, has raised questions about the identity and motives of the leaker. Banshee Stealer, believed to be developed by Russian threat actors, was designed to extract sensitive data from infected macOS devices, including passwords, system information, and cryptocurrency wallet data. It targeted multiple browsers and could steal extensive user information. Despite its shutdown, cybersecurity experts caution that the malware remains a significant threat due to its capabilities and the potential for its code to be repurposed.
