Fake Mac Clipboard App Delivers New Password-Stealing A new Mac infostealer dubbed PamStealer impersonates the open-source Maccy clipboard manager to steal passwords and more.

The malicious app mimics legitimate clipboard management tools, tricking users into installing malicious code. Once active, it intercepts copied credentials and sends them to remote servers controlled by attackers. Security firms have identified this as an evolving threat vector leveraging social engineering techniques.

This incident highlights ongoing challenges in macOS security despite Apple's robust sandboxing measures. Mac users remain targets as the platform gains enterprise adoption. Security experts recommend verifying app sources, enabling two-factor authentication, and using password managers with auto-fill protection to mitigate such risks.

Could clipboard-based attacks become the next major threat vector for crypto holders? Will OS-level protections evolve faster than attack methods? Drop your take below. 👇
