ClickFix Attacks Deliver macOS Stealer That Can Drain Crypto Wallets
A new scam is targeting Mac users by tricking them into clicking and running harmful files that can steal saved passwords, account details, and cryptocurrency from digital wallets. Once installed, it can quietly search the computer for valuable personal and financial information.
Who is at risk
Mac users are most at risk, especially people who use cryptocurrency wallets or save passwords and account logins on their computers or browsers.
What to watch for
Watch for unexpected pop-ups, download prompts, or website instructions asking you to click, paste, or run something on your Mac to fix a problem or continue.
What to do
Do not click or run unexpected downloads or terminal commands, update your Mac and browser, and change important passwords immediately if you think you may have followed one of these prompts.
