A deceptive website impersonating CleanMyMac tricks users into installing SHub Stealer, a sophisticated macOS malware. The malware steals sensitive data, including passwords, browser data, cryptocurrency wallets, and Telegram sessions. It can also modify wallet apps to steal recovery phrases. The attack begins with users pasting a command into Terminal, which downloads and executes a malicious script. The malware performs extensive data collection from various browsers and wallet applications, and installs persistent backdoors in certain crypto wallet apps. SHub Stealer is part of a growing family of AppleScript-based macOS infostealers, demonstrating increasing sophistication in targeting Mac users.
A new attack technique called InstallFix targets users by cloning popular developer tool installation pages and presenting malicious install commands. Attackers distribute these fake pages through Google Ads, exploiting users' trust in familiar 'curl to bash' installation methods. The campaign specifically targets Claude Code users, delivering the Amatera Stealer malware. This technique bypasses email security controls and exploits the growing trend of non-technical users adopting developer tools. The attack leverages legitimate hosting services and is part of a broader trend targeting AI-related tools. The payload uses staged execution and various evasion techniques to avoid detection.
The malware targets browser and cryptocurrency wallet data, along with system information and user files. The post Over 100 GitHub Repositories Distributing BoryptGrab Stealer appeared first on SecurityWeek .

A new backdoor, dubbed A0Backdoor, has been discovered in connection with a campaign using email bombing and IT-support impersonation over Microsoft Teams to gain Quick Assist access. The malware's loader exhibits anti-sandbox evasion techniques, and the campaign's command-and-control has shifted to a covert DNS mail exchange-based channel. This activity is attributed to the threat group Blitz Brigantine, also known as Storm-1811 or STAC5777, and shows similarities to Black Basta-linked social-engineering tactics. The attackers use digitally signed MSI packages, often hosted on Microsoft cloud storage, to deliver their proprietary tooling. The A0Backdoor employs sophisticated techniques such as time-based execution windows, runtime decryption, and DNS tunneling for covert communication. The campaign has been active since August 2025, targeting primarily the finance and health sectors.
An intrusion attributed to MuddyWater, an Iranian-linked APT, was identified in a customer environment. The attack involved initial access through RDP, establishing an SSH tunnel, and deploying malware via DLL side-loading. The threat actor used FMAPP.exe, a legitimate Fortemedia Inc.application, to load a malicious FMAPP.dll for C2 communications. The timeline of activities revealed typos in commands, suggesting manual typing by the attacker. The intrusion included reconnaissance efforts, attempts to verify tunnel functionality, and issues with initial C2 communication. The attack targeted an Israeli company, aligning with known MuddyWater tactics.
