Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com April 29 news, the network security company Cyble Research recently on Telegram, found a hacker is peddling malware against macOS-Atomic macOS Stealer (AMOS).

The company says the malware developer is still improving its functionality and increasing its destructive power. The current version of AMOS accesses keychain passwords, system information, files in desktop and document folders, and passwords for Mac.

AMOS can also infiltrate browser applications such as Chrome and Firefox, extract auto-fill information, passwords, cookie, wallets and credit card information, and search encrypted wallets such as Electrum, Binance and Atomic to facilitate theft of relevant information and property.

AMOS is sold with a web panel for $1000 a month (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 6930 yuan). This means that attackers can quickly get started and attack macOS users.

The malware spreads through a .dmg file and immediately starts accessing sensitive information and sending it to a remote server once the device is infected. Fake system prompts are displayed to obtain the system password and require access to documents and files in desktop folders.

Because this requires users to click on the .dmg file to install, Mac users can avoid malware by not installing untrusted software from unverified sources. Cyble Research recommends installing software from Mac App Store, using strong passwords and multi-factor authentication, and using biometric authentication whenever possible.
