Key Takeaways Malicious packages can steal cloud credentials during installation, before applications run. Stolen credentials turn developer workstations and CI/CD pipelines into gateways to cloud resources. Restrict installation scripts, minimize credential privileges, protect metadata access, and monitor cloud activity. Containment requires revoking exposed credentials and investigating cloud activity beyond removing compromised packages. Qualys TotalCloud connects cloud risk signals, while…

A domain that has long appeared in software documentation, code examples, and developer test material is now being used to push a ClickFix attack against Windows users. A placeholder domain stands in for a website in an example. The best-known is probably example.com.

However, there is a very important difference between the two: example.com is reserved for documentation, while…

Introduction My previous post on Macfinger ClickFix was two days ago, and this campaign remains active. The more I look into the malware delivered by this campaign, the more I believe it is not a variant of Atomic macOS (AMOS) Stealer as originally reported. There are too many differences between what I've documented with recent AMOS Stealer activity and what I'm now seeing with this malware. The data collection and method of exfiltration is different between these two malware families. The…

MacSync is a relatively young, rapidly evolving family of crypto/info stealers. First advertised on the dark web in 2025 as Mac.c, the stealer was later renamed to MacSync by its creators.

In this report, we discuss a new infection chain that differs significantly from previous variants. We first…

Phishing follows whatever people want at the moment, and right now that includes AI subscriptions they don’t have to pay for. We recently uncovered a new variation on this theme: A fake Claude Max giveaway that uses a convincing Google sign-in window to steal login information.Claude’s paid plans start at $20 a month and cost considerably more for higher usage limits, while free accounts have stricter limits. That makes the promise of a free upgrade an attractive lure.Microsoft reported in June…

Introduction I've found several legitimate websites with injected script for a campaign using the ClickFix social engineering technique. This particular ClickFix campaign was documented earlier this month on the Ransom-ISAC Blog, but it doesn't appear to have a nickname yet. Since this campaign is targeting macOS environments through a fingerprinting process, I'm calling it the "Macfinger ClickFix" campaign. No, this is not related to the MacFinger utility from decades ago. Instead, think of…

Since early May 2026, we’ve been monitoring a large phishing campaign based on T-Mobile rewards points. The messages falsely warn that a customer’s rewards points are about to expire. They aren’t legitimate account notices: They use urgency, invented point balances, and phishing links to push recipients into acting before they can verify the claim. A typical message says that a T-Mobile Rewards account holds 18,400 points, gives an imminent expiry date, and states that unused points will be…
