Undetectable ModStealer Malware Targets Crypto Wallets Across Multiple Platforms
Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered ModStealer, a new infostealer malware designed to compromise cryptocurrency wallets on Windows, Linux, and macOS. The malware extracts private keys and sensitive data while evading detection by major antivirus engines for weeks.
Distributed via fake job recruiter ads, ModStealer primarily targets browser-based wallets. Evidence suggests it may operate as Malware-as-a-Service, enabling less technical criminals to deploy pre-built attacks. Mosyle, the Apple-focused security firm that identified the threat, confirmed its cross-platform capabilities despite typically specializing in Mac vulnerabilities.
