You wake up, make your coffee, and sit down at your desk.
You open your Mac, check your email, and see a message from your vendor. “Where’s our payment? You’re late.”
Wait… you paid them last week.
You check your accounting system. Payment sent. Forty thousand dollars—gone.
Panic sets in. How did this happen?
You call the vendor. They never got the payment.
That’s when you realize—a hacker has been in your email for weeks, maybe months.
They intercepted your invoices, changed the payment details, and when your team reached out to confirm? The hacker spoofed the vendor’s phone number and email—telling you everything was correct.
You use a Mac. You thought you were safe.
You weren’t.
Mac Users Are Becoming Prime Targets
For years, Mac users have believed the same lie: Macs don’t get hacked.
That might have been true once. But things have changed.
1. More executives are using Macs. Hackers go where the money is. And now, more business leaders and high-level employees are choosing Macs—making them high-value targets.
2. Mac security is often weak. Many Mac users refuse to install security tools because they think they slow down performance. IT teams often lack the right management systems to secure Macs properly.
3. Phishing attacks don’t care what device you use. Hackers aren’t breaking into your Mac. They’re breaking into you. And now, they don’t even need your password to do it.
The Phishing Kit That Steals Logins—Even With 2FA
There’s a new phishing tool making the rounds in cybercrime circles. It’s called Astaroth, and it’s designed to bypass two-factor authentication (2FA) and steal logins from Gmail, Yahoo, and Microsoft accounts.
That means:
- Even if you have 2FA enabled, hackers can still get in.
- They don’t need malware. No downloads, no pop-ups, no warning signs.
- They steal your session in real time. You log in, thinking you’re safe. They log in at the same time, with your credentials.
This is exactly how cybercriminals drain bank accounts, steal business data, and hijack your email account.
And it’s only getting worse.
Are Your Macs Protected?
If your business uses Macs, you need to rethink your security strategy—now.
Ask yourself:
- Do we have the right security tools installed, or are we relying on outdated myths about Mac security?
- Are we protected against phishing, session hijacking, and email account takeovers?
- Would we even know if a hacker was already inside our systems?
If you think your team has this under control, that’s exactly what hackers want.
If you haven’t had a third-party cybersecurity assessment, it’s time.
