Over 100 password managers and software solutions are being impersonated by a new malware campaign targeting macOS users to steal their personal information.
As reported by Bleeping Computer, the popular password manager LastPass has already started warning users about this malicious software that is being spread through fake GitHub repositories.
Besides impersonating LastPass, this campaign is also pretending to be other password managers and software solutions including 1Password, Dropbox, Gemini, Audacity, Adobe After Effects, and SentinelOne, among more than 100 others.
It's using these fake repositories to spread the Atomic macOS Stealer, also known as AMOS, which is an info-stealing malware often used in ClickFix style attacks.
