Source: 9to5Mac

In this episode, I continue my conversation with Kseniia (@osint_barbie) and Mykhailo (@xor3r) from Moonlock Lab, the cybersecurity research arm of MacPaw.
Following our deep dive into the meteoric rise of infostealers in Part 1, we’re now shifting focus to the delivery side. In this second part, we discuss how malware gets onto machines and why we’re now in the next stage of social engineering. Enjoy (:
