Some Mac users think they're installing OpenAI Codex, but it's actually a malware that can steal passwords in seconds
Matched: cryptocurrency
Cybercriminals are using stolen Google Ads accounts and Google Sites to impersonate OpenAI's Codex download page, targeting macOS users. The fake site avoids detection by hosting malicious content via an iFrame elsewhere. Victims are tricked into pasting Terminal commands, which install AMOS, a macOS infostealer that harvests passwords, browser data, and crypto wallet information. The Windows download button was non-functional — only the Mac payload worked.
