"I feel empty," said Lavender, looking mournful.

"Um... maybe you need food?" suggested Craig.

"No, food is for creatures; I'm a living space. I feel empty because my residents have been gone so long."

Just then glowing circles appeared on her exposed skin. Craig felt a breeze pick up as tiny glinting things appeared out of nowhere. Each one #targeted a different circle on Lavender's arms & face, landed, & was absorbed. Lavender sighed contentedly. "That's better."

New macOS Malware uses Apple's own Code to quietly steal Credentials & Personal Data.

Check Point Research recently pushed out an alert warning. 100 million Apple users targeted by a new variant of the Banshee Stealer malware, that’s stealing browser credentials, cryptocurrency wallets and other personal data.

https://blog.checkpoint.com/research/cracking-the-code-how-banshee-stealer-targets-macos-users/

This newly discovered version includes a string encryption algorithm “stolen” from Apple’s own XProtect antivirus engine, which allowed it to evade detection for over two months.

Also, Banshee Stealer utilizes deceptive pop-ups that mimic legitimate system prompts. These pop-ups can trick you into unknowingly revealing your macOS password, granting the malware administrative access to your system. The malware employs anti-analysis techniques to avoid detection by security tools.

“Businesses must recognize the broader risks posed by modern malware, including costly data breaches that compromise sensitive information and damage reputations, targeted attacks on cryptocurrency wallets that threaten digital assets, and operational disruptions caused by stealthy malware that evades detection and inflicts long-term harm before being identified,” CPR researchers noted in the blog post.

The malware operation suffered a setback in late November 2024 when its source code leaked online, prompting it to shut down their operations. However, Check Point said it has identified multiple campaigns still distributing the malware through phishing websites, although it's currently not known if they are carried out by previous customers.

"Modern malware campaigns are exploiting common human vulnerabilities, not just platform-specific flaws," Eli Smadja, security research group manager at Check Point Research, said in a statement. "MacOS, like any other OS, is exposed to these evolving threats, especially as criminals employ advanced techniques like social engineering and fake software updates."

Targeted ads expose your personal information to thousands of advertisers and data brokers through “real-time bidding” (RTB), the most privacy-invasive surveillance system you’ve never heard of.
