When it comes to staying safe online, one thing I always recommend is to keep your computer updated along with the software you use everyday. The problem now though, is that hackers are capitalizing on this advice and as you might have guessed, are using it to spread dangerous info-stealing malware targeting Macs, PCs and even Android phones.

As reported by BleepingComputer, a new FakeUpdate campaign has been spotted online by security researchers at Proofpoint. What sets this campaign apart from previous ones is the fact that it’s being used to deliver a new Mac malware called FrigidStealer to the best MacBooks and other Apple computers.
