Cybersecurity researchers discover malware targeting macOS users
Briefly

This new Banshee Stealer variant exposes a critical gap in Mac security. While companies are increasingly adopting Apple ecosystems, the security tools haven't kept pace. Even leading EDR solutions have limitations on Macs, leaving organizations with significant blind spots. We need a multi-layered approach to security, including more trained hunters on Mac environments.
Banshee Stealer is a clear indicator of the evolving threats targeting macOS systems, which are traditionally viewed as more secure than their PC counterparts, and less susceptible to malware and viruses. As attackers refine their techniques, including leveraging encryption methods inspired by native security tools, it's evident that businesses can no longer rely on legacy assumptions about platform security.
Privileged Access Management (PAM) is no longer a 'nice-to-have' - it's an essential pillar of modern cybersecurity. By restricting access and ensuring that elevated permissions are granted only when necessary, PAM significantly reduces the attack surface for threats like Banshee.
