MacOS Malware Exposed: Can Hijack Telegram Sessions and Steal Crypto Wallet Data

Odaily Odaily reports that security researchers have discovered an information-stealing malware targeting MacOS devices that is attacking crypto users. It can hijack Telegram Desktop sessions, steal passwords and wallet databases, further controlling user accounts and stealing digital assets. Affected wallets and applications include: Exodus, Atomic, Electrum, Wasabi, Monero, and others.

Security experts advise that users with potentially infected devices should immediately treat them as "untrusted devices," terminate all active Telegram sessions, and change both their Telegram two-factor authentication password and desktop app password. Additionally, users should not enter seed phrases, private keys, or wallet passwords on the infected device, and should generate a new wallet and migrate their assets. (FinanceFeeds)
