ShadowVault: the deceptive malware stealing your data
Now, this isn't your average, run-of-the-mill villain. It's a wolf in sheep's clothing, acting all friendly while secretly plotting to steal your precious data. The malware goes by the name of ShadowVault, and it isn't just your garden-variety cyber-thief. It's more like a spy, mingling within your system unnoticed while secretly planning its heist. It insidiously goes about its business on compromised Mac devices, siphoning off valuable info such as usernames and passwords, stored credit card info, data from crypto wallets, and more. The worse part? Criminals can subscribe for $500 a month to access and use this malware.
