AmnesiaStealer Hijacks Chromium Sessions to Give Attackers Live Browser Control on macOS

Security researchers disclosed AmnesiaStealer, a Rust-based information stealer targeting macOS that hijacks Chromium browser sessions to grant attackers live control. The malware spreads through fake GitHub download pages using ClickFix-style social engineering tactics that impersonate verified publishers.

Why it matters: macOS users downloading software from unofficial sources face credential theft and browser takeover; practitioners should advise users to verify download authenticity and monitor for unauthorized browser access.
