Two types of malware are designed to trick Mac users and steal data. So, it's important to make sure your private data is locked down.
If you use a Mac, it could be at risk of two new threats. While Apple has a reputation for having ironclad security, these two pieces of malware are designed to trick you and steal your data. Jamf Threat Labs, an organization that focuses on the safety of Apple products, says the malware threats are part of a year-long attack on Mac systems. The group says hackers are using them to harvest data. Attacks like these are constantly happening, according to the lab.
How fake Arc Web Browser ads conceal dangerous malware In this attack, hackers are hiding malware in advertisements posing as ads for Arc Browser, as seen below. The ad redirects to a malicious lookalike site: arc.net vs. aricl.net Instead of taking you to the legitimate download page for the Arc web browser, the ad takes you to a lookalike malicious site, ariclnet, that imitates the legitimate arc.net and hosts malware.
