Delivered via a signed and Apple-notarized installer ('Werkbit Setup'), it bypasses Gatekeeper without warnings. The malware prompts users for their macOS password via a fake system dialog, validates it locally using 'dscl', then harvests data from 14 password managers, Chromium/Firefox browsers, and user files. Stolen data is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before exfiltration to a C2 server. Researchers at Jamf note its distinctiveness lies in client-side encryption and native C++ implementation. Distribution appears targeted, gated behind a meeting PIN on a fake software site registered in late June 2025. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
