PamStealer Uses Fake Maccy Sites and PAM Checks to Steal Mac Login Passwords
Security researchers identified PamStealer, a macOS information stealer distributed as a compiled AppleScript file masquerading as Maccy, a legitimate clipboard manager. The malware uses deceptive techniques to trick users into installation and extract sensitive data from infected systems.
Why it matters: macOS users are at risk from supply chain impersonation attacks; practitioners should educate end users to verify software sources and consider endpoint detection for suspicious AppleScript execution patterns.
