A new wave of attacks is threatening macOS users with the emergence of Cthulhu Stealer, a malware designed to steal personal information and important digital accounts. In particular, it targets digital wallets such as MetaMask and Binance, where users store and manage their digital assets.
Cthulhu Stealer operates by disguising itself as legitimate-looking applications, which allows it to trick users into entering passwords or granting access to the macOS Keychain. Once it has access, the malware can steal sensitive information stored on the user's system.
Scammers have begun marketing Cthulhu Stealer through Telegram, a social media platform known for drug dealing and scams. They approach users with fake job offers that appear to offer easy money but are actually scams and personal information theft.
The developers of Cthulhu Stealer charge around $500 per month for the malware, a small price to pay for the massive damage it can do to victims. This highlights the dangers of keeping personal information and digital accounts secure on macOS platforms, as the development of malware targeting the operating system is on the rise.
