🦠 Surge in macOS Infostealers Threatens User Security. Recent research highlights a significant rise in macOS infostealers, with a 101% increase detected in the last two quarters of 2024. The three most prevalent threats identified are Atomic Stealer, Poseidon Stealer, and Cthulhu Stealer, all designed to exfiltrate sensitive information such as credentials, financial data, and intellectual property. These infostealers often exploit the AppleScript framework to deceive users into providing access. The article emphasizes the importance of advanced detection and protection measures, such as those offered by Palo Alto Networks’ Cortex XDR, to mitigate the risks posed by these evolving threats.
