(Podcast) The Ghost in the Registry How a Fake npm Package is Hijacking Macs

Описание: In this episode, we dive deep into a chilling discovery on the npm registry that every macOS developer needs to hear about! 🕵️‍♂️💻 A malicious package disguised as "OpenClaw" has been caught red-handed deploying a sophisticated Remote Access Trojan known as GhostLoader. 👻🛡️
We break down how these attackers use high-end social engineering, including a super-polished fake Command Line Interface (CLI) with animated progress bars, to trick even cautious devs. You'll learn how it spawns a bogus iCloud Keychain prompt to snag your system password and even uses AppleScript to beg for Full Disk Access! 😱
Once it’s in, it’s game over. We discuss the massive list of what GhostLoader steals: from your Chrome and Brave browser sessions (including live cloning to bypass security!) to your crypto wallets, SSH keys, and cloud credentials for AWS and GitHub. Plus, it enters a "daemon mode" to watch your clipboard every three seconds for private keys and OpenAI API tokens. 💰🔑
Don’t let your Mac become a zombie for hackers! Tune in to learn how this supply chain attack works and what you can do to keep your environment secure. 🚀🛑
