🚨 Cyber Myth Busted! Many people still believe: “Macs don’t get viruses.” ❌ The reality? Every device—Mac, Windows, Linux, or mobile—is a potential target. Hackers don’t discriminate by brand; they go after data and money. Macs can be infected by: 🔹 Phishing attacks that steal credentials 🔹 Ransomware that locks files for payment 🔹 Spyware & Trojans that silently track activity The truth is: no system is 100% immune. That’s why cybersecurity must go beyond the device—covering strong passwords, MFA, endpoint protection, and continuous monitoring. At Technography Experts, we turn myths into awareness—and awareness into real protection. 💡 What other cybersecurity myths have you heard?

🔷 ChillyHell malware continues to pose a significant threat to macOS users, as confirmed by recent findings from Jamf Threat Labs. This persistent malware, first identified in 2021, employs sophisticated evasion techniques like timestomping and dynamic command-and-control protocol switching to avoid detection. These methods allow it to silently exfiltrate sensitive user data, primarily usernames and passwords, making it a serious concern for enterprise security. While Apple has revoked developer certificates linked to ChillyHell, preventing new easily distributed versions, existing infections remain a challenge. This highlights the critical need for robust endpoint detection and response strategies for macOS environments. Organizations must prioritize regular security software updates and educate users on cautious application downloads to mitigate the risks from evolving threats like ChillyHell. #ChillyHell, #MacSecurity, #Malware, #Cybersecurity

🚨 New macOS Malware Alert: ChillyHell 🚨 A newly discovered macOS backdoor, ChillyHell, has been observed bypassing Apple’s notarization process and maintaining persistence through three distinct methods. 🔎 Key Highlights: Exploits notarization gaps to appear as trusted software. Performs advanced reconnaissance: user profiling, process enumeration, and timestomping. Achieves persistence via LaunchAgents, LaunchDaemons, and shell profile injection. Establishes C2 communication using DNS/HTTP with brute-force modules for Kerberos credentials. 📌 This case demonstrates that code-signing alone cannot guarantee security organizations must adopt behavioral monitoring and proactive threat intelligence to defend against advanced malware. 🛡️ At ThreatMon, we deliver real-time visibility into such evolving threats, empowering organizations worldwide to defend proactively. #macOS #Malware #ThreatIntelligence #Cybersecurity #ThreatMon

3 Cybersecurity Habits Most People Forget (But Hackers Don’t!) Everyone talks about strong passwords and 2FA… but here are 3 overlooked habits that can save you from a cyber nightmare: 1. Check your apps’ permission: That flashlight app doesn’t need access to your microphone. Review permissions monthly. 2. Log out of accounts you don’t use often: Staying signed in = bigger attack surface if your device is compromised. 3. Update your router firmware: We patch our laptops, but home routers often go years without updates. Hackers love that. Small habits. Huge impact. What’s one uncommon cybersecurity practice YOU follow that others should know about? #CyberSecurity #BestPractices #GRC #RiskManagement #InfoSec

🚨 Unverified Malware Alert: Exercise Caution A circulating alert mentions two malware families: - macOS backdoor “CHILLYHELL”—allegedly Apple‑notarized and linked to attacks on Ukrainian government sites, with its certificates revoked. - Cross‑platform RAT “ZynorRAT”—supposedly compromising Windows and Linux systems via Telegram, capable of stealing files and taking screenshots. Important Note: At this time, I’ve found no credible evidence or public reporting confirming the existence or activity of these threats. What to Do: - Maintain strong security hygiene—regularly update systems and applications. - Use reputable, up-to-date antivirus and endpoint protection tools. - Monitor official security advisories from software vendors and recognized cybersecurity organizations. Until more details emerge from trustworthy sources, treat alerts about “CHILLYHELL” and “ZynorRAT” as unverified. #CyberSecurity #ThreatIntel #FalseAlarms #SecurityAwareness #VetYourSources
