Mac users face threats from Atomic macOS Stealer (AMOS), which can steal browser passwords, cryptocurrency wallet data, and Telegram files; Windows users are served fake Google API Connector updates that, once installed, deploy NetSupport RAT and counterfeit Ledger hardware wallet applications. Additionally, hackers have placed fraudulent ads on search engines like Bing to lure users to cloned Claude.ai pages where they execute malicious commands; the associated malware, MacSync and SectopRAT, can steal cookies, saved passwords, mnemonic phrases, and payment card information.
