A malicious campaign is targeting macOS developers through fake Homebrew, LogMeIn, and TradingView platforms that distribute infostealing malware such as AMOS and Odyssey. The campaign uses deceptive tactics to trick users into executing harmful commands in Terminal, leading to the theft of sensitive information from their systems. Researchers identified over 85 domains involved in this scheme, which are promoted via Google Ads to appear in search results.

Apple has replaced the traditional rsync tool in macOS with openrsync due to licensing concerns. While the legacy version of rsync is still included, users can now access openrsync, which offers similar functionality with a focus on efficiency in file transfers. Users needing the latest rsync can install it via Homebrew, though this may disrupt the integration with openrsync.
