According to the Malwarebytes 2025 Malware Report, malware targeting Mac computers has become increasingly common, with attack methods growing more sophisticated, making the risk for Mac users comparable to that of Windows users. The report notes that traditional threats are being replaced by more aggressive “information theft” malware, which uses similar attack techniques and spread methods as Windows malware.
These malwares do not distinguish between individual and corporate users, specifically targeting “passwords” and “authentication cookies” to steal valuable personal information, including credit card details, authentication cookies, passwords, and cryptocurrency wallet access. The report highlights two types of Mac malware: Poseidon Stealer and Atomic Stealer. Poseidon Stealer can steal assets from over 160 types of cryptocurrency wallets, as well as extract confidential information from browsers, Bitwarden and KeePassC password managers, and FileZilla file transfer applications. Atomic Stealer focuses on attacking the Mac platform, stealing login credentials and passwords, and gaining access to confidential resources to carry out more deceptive social engineering attacks.
