A new version of the Banshee macOS Stealer malware can steal browser credentials, cryptocurrency wallets, and sensitive data, according to Check Point Research. Previously perceived as secure, macOS’s growing user base is attracting cybercriminals. The malware was originally offered as “stealer-as-a-service” on underground sites for $3,000, but a string encryption algorithm from Apple’s XProtect antivirus engine allowed it to evade detection. Experts advocate for increased vigilance, robust endpoint protection, and regular software updates.
