Apple Mac users are now being cautioned about a fresh strain of malware known as 'Cthulhu Stealer' that poses a risk to their personal data and crypto wallets. Despite the long-standing belief that macOS systems are impervious to malware, cybersecurity firm Cado Security revealed the emergence of this threat.

It specifically targets popular crypto wallets such as MetaMask, Coinbase, and Binance, storing stolen information in text files.

Apple has taken note of the rising malware threats and has updated its macOS version to enhance security measures against such attacks. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
