Modular macOS Stealer Uses Kill Loops to Force Password Entry
A newly discovered macOS stealer called ClickLock employs kill loops to force users into repeated system lockouts, compelling them to enter passwords for access restoration. The malware leverages this coercive technique to harvest credentials from affected victims.
Why it matters: macOS users and administrators managing Apple devices should monitor for this stealer variant, as the forced password extraction method bypasses typical user caution and creates an immediate credential compromise risk.
