Security Nudge. Be Careful Where You Download Software. Sponsored By CybSafe.


Listen Later

Conventional wisdom has long held that Apple Macs are more secure than their Windows counterparts – one of the reasons many people prefer MacBooks as business laptops, and iMacs for work and home desktops. Yet just because they may be better at security doesn’t mean Macs are impervious: Check Point security researchers recently warned about Banshee macOS Stealer, which is new malicious software embedded in copycat versions of popular software like Chrome and Telegram. Banshee is hard to spot, and appears to encrypt itself using system tools like XProtect that help it avoid detection by antivirus tools. Once installed, it scours your Macs for browser credentials, cryptocurrency wallets, and other data that cybercriminals can sell or use to breach the devices of you or your company. As always, be careful about where you download your software. Update your operating system regularly to ensure you have the latest security patches installed. And don’t hesitate to contact your company’s technical support team if anything seems off. The 60-second "Security Nudge" is brought to you by CybSafe, developers of the Human Risk Management Platform. Learn more at https://cybsafe.com
