Macs targeted by infostealers in new era of cyberthreats

**Executive summary:** The report warns of a sharp increase in macOS-targeting infostealers—particularly AMOS and its fork Poseidon—which accounted for 70% of Mac infostealer detections in late 2024; these tools, often licensed to other criminals, steal browser credentials, password-manager data, VPN configurations, and cryptocurrency from dozens of wallets and are commonly distributed via malvertising, with recommended mitigations including always-on macOS protection and browser/ad-block defenses.
