Oh, great. Just what we needed. More scumbags exploiting Google’s ad platform to infect Macs with info-stealing malware. This time, the crooks are masquerading as Arc, that hip browser everyone’s been talking about. But don’t get it twisted – this isn’t the typical Arc browser. According to ArsTechnica, this is Poseidon, a full-service stealer that’ll snatch your passwords, cryptocurrency wallets, and who knows what else. Here’s how it goes down, according to MalwareBytes: You’re browsing along, minding your biz, when suddenly an ad catches your eye. “Arc browser – calmer, more personal,” it promises. Sounds nice, right? Click the ad, and you’re redirected to a fake Arc download site that looks legit as hell. But the .dmg file you download is anything but legit. It’s Poseidon, baby, and it’s got its sights set on your sensitive data. Once you install Poseidon (don’t install Poseidon!), it gets to work stealing your stuff and shipping it off to the scammers. And these ain’t your run-of-the-mill scammers. No, they’re running a full-blown criminal enterprise, complete with a control panel to access all the juicy data they’ve swiped. But wait, it gets better. Google, being the ever-vigilant ad platform it is, “verified” the advertiser behind this malicious ad campaign. Because nothing says “verified” like a stealer-infested ad for a fake browser. And don’t even get me started on the state of Mac malware development. Apparently, there’s a thriving scene dedicated to crafting stealers. Who knew? So, what’s the takeaway here? First, don’t download software…Poseidon malware infects Macs through fake ads on Google
