What happened
Threat actors are distributing JobStealer malware via fake job interview applications for Windows and macOS. The malware harvests browser data, saved passwords, and cryptocurrency wallets (and likely other credentials), enabling account takeover and fund theft; distribution relies on social‑engineering (fake interview/app installers). This is a cross‑platform credential/crypto‑theft campaign posing high risk to end users and organizations that reuse credentials or store wallets on compromised endpoints.
