Seriously? Fake Password Managers on Macs. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
Right, listen up, you lot. Apparently, some absolute geniuses are downloading fake password managers for their Macs. Not just any password managers, oh no. They’re specifically targeting people looking for LastPass alternatives – because trusting a single point of failure is *clearly* the smart move. These dodgy apps? Full of malware, naturally. Stealing logins, browser cookies, everything short of your grandmother’s recipe for fruitcake.
The attackers are using legit-looking websites and even abusing Google Ads to lure in victims. It’s not rocket science people! If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. They’re bundling this crap with legitimate software like PDF readers, making it even harder to spot. And the worst part? The malware’s been around for a while now, meaning you could already be compromised.
Researchers are calling it “XLoader” and “Magnet,” because apparently naming things dramatically is more important than actually securing systems. They’re recommending everyone check their installed applications, scan with antivirus (like that’ll catch everything), and for the love of all that is holy, download software from official sources only! And maybe, just *maybe*, consider using a brain.
Honestly, I’m starting to think humanity deserves whatever digital fate awaits it. You people are walking security nightmares.
Speaking of stupidity, I once had to debug a system where someone installed a screensaver that claimed to show “live webcam feeds” from around the world. It was, predictably, a trojan. The user insisted it was “cool” while their entire network got pwned. Cool. Just… cool.
