According to 23pds, the Chief Information Security Officer of Slow Fog Technology, a new variant of the information-stealing malware MacSync has emerged, successfully bypassing the macOS Gatekeeper security mechanism, resulting in the theft of user assets.

This malware employs various techniques to evade detection, including file inflation, network connection validation, and self-destruct scripts after execution. Attackers can use this software to steal sensitive data from victims, such as iCloud keychains, browser passwords, and cryptocurrency wallets. Users should remain vigilant, avoid downloading software from unknown sources, promptly update operating system security patches, and take additional measures to protect the security of their crypto assets.
