ModStealer Malware: A new malware named ModStealer is targeting crypto users on macOS, Windows, and Linux, remaining undetected by major antivirus engines for nearly a month. It is designed to extract sensitive data, including private keys and wallet credentials, and is distributed through fake job recruitment ads.
