A new variant of the “Atomic macOS Stealer” (AMOS) malware has been identified, posing a significant threat to macOS users by targeting and stealing sensitive data such as passwords, browser history, and cryptocurrency wallets. The malware is sold on the dark web for $1,000 a month, making it accessible to cybercriminals and increasing its potential impact.
