Gate News message, on March 30, GoPlus Security disclosed that a spyware malware named Infiniti Stealer is stealing from Mac users’ encrypted wallets and sensitive credentials through a “ClickFix” social engineering attack. The attackers forge a highly realistic Cloudflare verification code page to trick users into opening the terminal and manually pasting to execute malicious commands. After the commands are executed, the script will remove macOS quarantine attributes and silently run subsequent payloads by writing them into the /tmp directory. The final payload is a native macOS binary compiled with Nuitka, significantly increasing the difficulty for security tools to detect it. Once deployed, Infiniti Stealer can steal credentials from Chromium/Firefox browsers, macOS Keychain, encrypted wallets, and developer key files (such as .env files), and it also has sandbox detection and delayed execution capabilities to evade tracking.
