ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Apple Mac users have recently received warnings about a new type of malware called "Cthulhu Stealer", which can steal users' personal information and steal crypto wallets. "MacOS systems are widely believed to be immune to malware," said cybersecurity firm Cado Security. "While MacOS has a reputation for security, related malware has been on the rise in recent years."

"Cthulhu Stealer" appears in the form of an Apple Disk Image (DMG) and disguises itself as legitimate software such as CleanMyMac and Adobe GenP. When the user opens the file, the macOS command line tool used to run AppleScript and JavaScript prompts the user to enter a password. Including prompting for the password of the Ethereum wallet MetaMask. "Cthulhu Stealer" can also attack other crypto wallet software, including wallets from Coinbase, Wasabi, Electrum, Atomic, Binance, and Blockchain Wallet.
