Mac Users Beware: New Malware Enables Remote Control and Sale on Dark Web

Russian hackers are selling a Hidden VNC (HVNC) tool on the dark web, specifically designed to give attackers full access to Macs, including stealing personal data and logins. The tool, priced at $60,000, supports persistence, runs without user permission, and is undetectable by most Mac protection tools. It creates a separate user session that is invisible to the victim, allowing the attacker to control the Mac remotely. To protect against this threat, users should keep their Macs updated and practice standard cybersecurity measures such as avoiding installing apps from untrusted sources and not clicking on suspicious links or attachments.
