Threat intelligence and research project Vx-Underground reported that the source code for Banshee Stealer has been leaked online. As a result of this leak, the malware operation has been shut down. The identity of the person who leaked the code and their motivations remain unclear. Banshee Stealer gained attention in August when its developers began advertising it on cybercrime forums for a monthly subscription fee of USD 3,000.
It is believed to have been developed by Russian threat actors and is designed to collect a wide range of data from infected macOS devices. The extent of Banshee Stealer’s infections is still unknown, as well as the methods the attackers used to distribute the malware. Deploying malware on macOS is generally more challenging than on Windows.
