While Apple's Macs aren't targeted by hackers as much as Windows PCs, they aren't impenetrable. Security researchers recently uncovered malware dubbed "Cthulhu Stealer" that impersonates popular apps to harvest passwords and steal data from macOS users.
As first reported by The Hacker News, Cado Security pushed out a public warning this week about Cthulhu Stealer, a malware-as-a-service targeting macOS users launched in late 2023 that sells for $500 a month. "The malware is written in Golang and disguises itself as legitimate software," said Cado Security researcher Tara Gould.
