New macOS malware turns stolen browsers into attacker-controlled sessions
Mac users are being freshly warned of suspicious websites asking them to open Terminal and install software.
AI Summary
Mac users are warned that suspicious sites are prompting them to open Terminal and run a command that installs a new macOS infostealer called AmnesiaStealer. Jamf Threat Labs found the malware uses a ClickFix‑style fake GitHub download page to trick victims into executing the command. The campaign first steals credentials and other sensitive data. After the initial theft, the malware silently takes interactive control of the victim’s Chromium browser. The researchers detailed the multi‑stage process in a blog post.
