AMOS stealer targeting Mac users could clone wallet apps and steal user funds

On August 23rd, cyber security firm Moonlock warned that AMOS stealers targeting Mac users can now clone the Ledger Live software and may soon clone other wallet apps. According to an Aug. 5 report from cyber security firm Moonlock Lab, the program is resurgent, and the company found that it was being advertised through Google Adsense. In the ads, it masqueraded as popular MacOS programs, including the screen-sharing app Loom, the user interface design tool Figma, the VPN TunnelBlick, and the instant messaging app Callzy. None of the developers of these apps authorized the fake AMOS malicious software versions.
