Infection starts via ClickFix social engineering in a zsh Terminal session, followed by curl retrieving payload from attacker-controlled /curl/ paths, with data staged in /tmp/sync* and uploaded via chunked HTTP PUT requests. Why: Mac-using developers and founders should recognize the ClickFix social-engineering pattern (fake prompts instructing users to paste commands into Terminal) as the entry vector, and should treat unsolicited Terminal/curl instructions with suspicion. The stealer specifically targets AWS credentials, SSH keys, and Kubernetes configs, so anyone developing on macOS should audit whether sensitive credentials are stored in plaintext or browser sessions that this malware is known to collect. security macos infostealer credentials clickfix
