ClickFix Campaigns Spread MacSync macOS Infostealer via Fake AI Tool Installers
Yo, Mac users — your AI hustle just got dangerous. Since November 2025, a malvertising campaign dubbed 'ClickFix' has been pushing the MacSync macOS infostealer through fake installers for popular AI tools. Think you're downloading the latest AI goodness? You might be handing over your credentials, browser data, and crypto wallets instead.
Here's the play: attackers are using malicious Terminal commands to deploy the stealer. They're targeting developers and AI enthusiasts who think they're getting legit tools. Once installed, MacSync goes full spy mode — harvesting passwords, cookies, and wallet info from browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
The campaign's been active for months, and it's not slowing down. If you're installing AI tools from sketchy sources or clicking on too-good-to-be-true ads, you're playing with fire. This isn't just another malware — it's a targeted info grab aimed at the tech-savvy crowd.
