"Realst Malware: Protecting Your macOS Sonoma and Cryptocurrency Wallets"
Cybercriminals are spreading a new infostealer malware called Realst through fake blockchain games, targeting both Windows and macOS users. Some variants of the malware are already targeting macOS 14 Sonoma, which is set to be released in the fall. Realst silently collects web browser data, including stored passwords, and can empty cryptocurrency wallets. To protect against Realst and other malware, users are advised to be cautious when installing software outside the official Mac App Store, verify links before opening them, use strong passwords and two-step authentication, exercise caution when granting permissions, and keep devices and applications up-to-date.
