A macOS malware family called Phexia is spreading through fake web pages that talk Mac users into pasting a command into Terminal.
Summary
Once the command runs, the malware quietly settles on the Mac, steals the login password, and copies browser data, keychain files, and password-manager extension data. The trick is known as ClickFix.
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.
