A newly observed ClickFix-style macOS campaign lures users to an Apple-themed webpage that triggers an applescript:// URL to open a pre-filled script in macOS Script Editor; the script decodes an obfuscated URL, uses curl (with -k) to fetch and pipe a payload to zsh, and delivers a Mach-O binary identified as an Atomic Stealer variant.
