New Mac Threat: FrigidStealer Information Stealer Emerges
A new threat has emerged for Mac users worldwide. FrigidStealer, an information stealer, has been detected targeting Apple devices. This comes as malware campaigns against Apple devices are on the rise.
FrigidStealer was first spotted in January 2025, outside of North America. It's linked to TA569, a notorious threat actor known for website injections leading to FakeUpdates/SocGholish. TA569, associated with EvilCorp, typically gains access to networks through malvertising.
Two new groups, TA2726 and TA2727, have been identified as working with TA569. TA2726 acts as a traffic distribution service provider for both TA569 and TA2727. TA2727 was observed delivering FrigidStealer to Mac computers. The groups purchase traffic on online forums to spread the malware.
FrigidStealer's deployment is part of larger campaigns involving TA569. Users are advised to stay cautious and keep their systems updated. For detailed information, consult the Proofpoint report from February 18, 2023, or contact cybersecurity experts.
