Eastern European Hackers Target macOS Users: Stay Alert! đš
According to SlowMist founder Yu Jian, there's a new wave of malware targeting macOS systems. Once executed, this malware starts stealing cookies, autofill info, password data, and even encrypted private keys and mnemonics from browser extensions. But it doesnât stop there! It can also breach your macOS Keychain, where most of your sensitive data is stored. đ»đ
Hereâs how the hackers do it: They decrypt your locally stored private keys or mnemonics from wallet extensions, either from saved passwords or by brute force. Scary, right? Even worse, the malware may sit quietly if your wallet has little in it, waiting until itâs worth stealing. đ°đ
It doesn't end with your walletâbrowser account credentials, communication apps like Telegram, Discord, and even trading platforms are at risk. So, if you think you're infected, act fast! Secure those accounts immediately before running antivirus scans or reinstalling your system. đĄïž
Stay safe, protect your assets, and always be cautious online!
