Security researchers at Check Point Research (CPR) have detected high-tech malware targeting macOS users. The malware is named "Banshee Stealer", which is designed to steal users' sensitive information, such as browser credentials, cryptocurrency wallets, and system passwords. This malware is so clever that it is almost impossible to catch it.

First coming into the limelight in the first half of 2024, when it was sold on underground forums as "Stealer-as-a-Service" for $3,000, a new version of Banshee Stealer was revealed in September 2024 using advanced techniques to evade antivirus systems.
