Cybercriminals are advertising a new macOS malware that they claim is capable of stealing a wide range of data from compromised systems.
Named Banshee Stealer and believed to have been developed by Russian threat actors, the malware is advertised on cybercrime forums for $3,000 per month. Researchers at Elastic Security Labs, who published an analysis of the malware on Thursday, described it as a “steep monthly subscription”.
The malware is designed to collect the targeted user’s macOS password, information about the system’s hardware and software, keychain passwords, data from web browsers, and cryptocurrency wallets.
Banshee Stealer can target nine different browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi, Yandex, Opera, OperaGX, and Safari. It can generally steal cookies, logins and browsing history, but from Safari only cookies can be collected. Elastic researchers also found that the malware targets data from roughly 100 browser plugins.
