Malware dubbed CookieMiner steals users’ web browser cookies and credentials in an attempt to withdraw funds from their cryptocurrency exchange accounts. The malware has been designed to target Mac users and is believed to be based on DarthMiner, another Mac malware that was detected in December last year. It also covertly installs coin mining software onto the infected Mac machines to secretly mine for additional cryptocurrency by consuming the targeted Mac’s system resources. Mac users are tricked into downloading tainted software onto their machines which delivers the malware.
