Learn about the sophisticated infection chains that leverage AI and scraped personal data to deceive even security-conscious users, and understand how the darknet facilitates the resale of stolen macOS data and malware distribution kits. Gain practical insights into recognizing early-stage infection attempts and implementing protective measures for both individual users and enterprise environments. Examine real-world examples of how macOS-focused malware adapts and evolves at a pace that often outpaces traditional defense mechanisms, challenging the long-held perception of macOS as an inherently secure platform.
