Microsoft: New XCSSET macOS Variant Targets Xcode Developers
🛡️ Microsoft Threat Intelligence has identified a new variant of the XCSSET macOS infostealer that has appeared in limited attacks and specifically targets Xcode projects. The variant expands capabilities to steal Firefox data using a modified HackBrowserData build, hijack the clipboard to replace cryptocurrency addresses, and employ new persistence techniques. It spreads by infecting shared Xcode project files so malicious code runs when a project is built. Microsoft says the campaign is not widespread and has notified Apple and GitHub while advising developers to inspect projects and keep macOS and apps up to date.
