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

Odaily Planet Daily News Security researchers have discovered that a type of information-stealing malware targeting MacOS devices is attacking crypto users. It can hijack Telegram Desktop sessions, steal passwords and wallet databases, thereby gaining further control over user accounts and stealing digital assets. Currently affected wallets and applications include: Exodus, Atomic, Electrum, Wasabi, Monero, etc.

Security experts recommend that users with potentially infected devices should immediately treat them as "compromised devices," terminate all active Telegram sessions, change both the Telegram two-factor authentication password and the desktop application password, and refrain from entering seed phrases, private keys, or wallet passwords on the infected device. Users should generate new wallets and migrate their assets. (FinanceFeeds)
