A newly discovered Mac Trojan virus has raised concerns in the crypto community as it can steal private keys to cryptocurrency wallets within seconds. The malware tricks users into downloading a disguised package and gaining administrative permissions, allowing it to bypass Apple's security. This incident serves as a reminder that no platform is completely safe, as even macOS faces similar threats. The Trojan requires the user's administrator password, which is often the same as the Mac's lock screen password, to gain system-level permissions. The malware can quickly access sensitive files, such as wallet seed phrases and account credentials. Passwords can be cracked locally or sent to a hacker's server for decryption. Typical targets of the Trojan are users who download software related to crypto projects, so users should exercise caution with third-party software and consider installing antivirus software.
