🍎 *Mac Security Alert: The "Signed" Sneak Attack!* 🕵️‍♂️

Think your Mac is an impenetrable fortress? 🏰 Think again! In this episode, we dive into the sneaky world of the *new MacSync Stealer variant* that is causing a stir in the cybersecurity world. This isn’t your average malware; it is masquerading as a *legitimately signed and notarised Apple application* to waltz right past *macOS Gatekeeper* security without triggering a single "unidentified developer" warning!

We break down how threat actors are using *Swift-based apps* and stolen developer certificates to trick users into a false sense of security. Whether it’s targeting your **cryptocurrency wallet credentials**, stealing browser data, or impersonating messaging platforms like **zk-Call**, this evolved MacSync variant is bigger and more dangerous than ever with its new 25.5MB disk image.

*In this video, you’ll learn:*
How MacSync evades detection by appearing as a **verified developer app**.
The shift from lightweight payloads to **enhanced disk-based functionality**.
The role of the *focusgroovy[.]com* command-and-control server.
Expert insights from *Jamf Threat Labs* on how to stay protected.
