Once executed, AMOS immediately steals data and transmits it to the attackers’ command-and-control servers. The stolen data includes passwords, autofills, user information, wallets, browser cookies, and keychain data.
Mac malware, while less prevalent than its Windows counterparts, poses a serious threat. The developers of AMOS have marketed its ability to evade detection as a selling point. To protect against such threats, experts recommend users carefully verify the origins of any downloaded programs and scrutinize the website source. Additionally, running an antivirus with real-time protection can help block malware before it can steal valuable data.
