Researchers have discovered an evolved PamStealer malware variant for macOS that adds live command-and-control capabilities.
Summary
The updated trojan enables real-time interaction, including screenshots, audio recording, shell command execution, and on-demand file transfers, transforming it from a basic credential stealer into a versatile remote access tool. This marks a significant evolution in its design.
This is a brief wire summary — the full story (linked below) has the complete details.
KazaSec's take
Phishing and credential-based attacks succeed because they target people, not just infrastructure — technical controls like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC only ever close part of that gap. The rest comes down to whether a team can actually spot the fake, and whether a compromised credential can still be reused anywhere else.
