Fake Mac fixes trick users into installing new Shamos infostealer

A new infostealer malware targeting Mac devices, called ‘Shamos,’ is targeting Mac devices in ClickFix attacks that impersonate troubleshooting guides and fixes.

The new malware, which is a variant of the Atomic macOS Stealer (AMOS), was developed by the cybercriminal group “COOKIE SPIDER,” and is used to steal data and credentials stored in web browsers, Keychain items, Apple Notes, and cryptocurrency wallets.

CrowdStrike, which detected Shamos, reports that the malware has attempted infections against over three hundred environments worldwide that they monitor since June 2025.

Alien eavesdropping: Study shows how our signals might leak into space

Alien eavesdropping: A new study shows how our signals might leak into space.


Imagine you’re an alien astronomer, pointing your telescope toward our solar system, listening for signs of intelligent life. Would you hear us? For decades, scientists have wondered the same thing.

A new study by researchers from Penn State University and NASA suggests we may finally have a clue. By carefully mapping the directions and timing of Earth’s strongest space communications, they’ve shown that our radio messages, meant for spacecraft like those near Mars, leak into the cosmos in predictable patterns.

Exoplanets could be key to finding mysterious dark matter: Study

Dark matter could turn exoplanets into tiny black holes, shocking study reveals.


A study suggests that exoplanets could be used to search for dark matter — the elusive substance that makes up 85% of the universe’s matter.

Dark matter’s gravitational pull proves it exists, but we’ve never been able to directly find it.

Now, the University of California, Riverside, study proposes that exoplanets, especially large, gaseous ones like Jupiter, could act as natural laboratories for dark matter search.
