Summary

Hide ▲

The MacSync information stealer now arrives on macOS as a code-signed, notarized Swift app, raising the odds of successful delivery and increasing credential-theft risk. The payload is packaged in a disk image and uses a dropper to evade Gatekeeper, while also checking for internet connectivity and wiping execution scripts. The family emerged in April 2025 as Mac.C and can steal iCloud keychain credentials, browser passwords, wallet data, and files.
