Unit 42, the global threat intelligence team at Palo Alto Network, discovered Mac malware that can steal cookies linked to crypto exchanges and wallets.
The Unit 42 team said:
“By leveraging the combination of stolen login credentials, web cookies, and SMS data, based on past attacks like this, we believe the bad actors
could bypass multi-factor authentication for these sites. If successful, the attackers would have full access to the victim’s exchange account and/or wallet and be able to use those funds as if they were the user themselves.”
