Source code for Banshee Stealer was published on GitHub.
The macOS malware-as-a-service Banshee Stealer has been taken down following the exposure of its source code.
According to Security Affairs, the source code was leaked online, archived and published it on GitHub by VXunderground. It was also disclosed that the operators behind Banshee Stealer have shut down their operations after the data leak.
In August 2024, Russian hackers promoted BANSHEE Stealer, a macOS malware targeting x86_64 and ARM64, capable of stealing browser data, crypto wallets, and more.
This comes months after Banshee Stealer was reported by Elastic Security Labs to enable extensive system, cryptocurrency wallet, browser, and browser extension data compromise.
Although its data exfiltration capabilities were watered down by its less than advanced composition.
