New CrashStealer malware poses as Apple crash reporting tool

By Bill Toulas

AI Summary

Jamf Threat Labs identified CrashStealer, a new macOS infostealer written in native C++ that masquerades as Apple's crash-reporting tool, uses a notarized dropper to bypass Gatekeeper, and validates the victim's login password locally before exfiltrating credentials, keychain data, and crypto wallets. The use of notarization to pass macOS security controls makes this a particularly sophisticated threat for macOS endpoint defenders.
