A new program has appeared on the Darknet that attacks macOS, stealing crypto and personal data. It is called macOS-HVNC. The main goal of the program is to steal confidential information:

- login details,

- personal data,

- cryptocurrencies,

- financial information and other information.

HVNC allows you to remotely control computers with full access to the system without user permission. This program was discovered on one of the forums where cybercriminals communicate.

The program has been available since April 2023, and a technology update was provided in July. The owner of the post offering it has been active since May 2021. A deposit of $100,000 is required to purchase the HVNC program.

The $100,000 deposit refers to money held in escrow by the forum administration to serve as insurance for buyers in the event that the item sold is not as described in the post.

It is not yet known who has already decided to purchase such a program, but given that it can steal a lot of financial information from computers, there will definitely be people willing to use it.

According to a BlackBerry report, the three industries most affected by cyberattacks are finance, healthcare and government. A common malware called RedLine is one of the long-standing financial threats that aims to collect cryptocurrency and banking information.

Clop ransomware, a variant of the CryptoMix ransomware family, has been a common threat targeting banks and financial institutions. This malware was responsible for the data leak of the banking fintech platform Hatch Bank.

When it comes to the list of the most common Blackberry malware families, SmokeLoader, RaccoonStealer (also known as RecordBreaker) and Vidar top the charts. SmokeLoader is one of the oldest fraudulent financial tools since 2011, which Russian attackers mainly used to download crypto miners, among other malware.#Bitcoin #BTC
