π¬ A blue-check account, a fake app, 108 malicious ads HBO Max has no standalone macOS app β and that gap is exactly what the attackers sold. They seized the verified u/hbomax Reddit account and ran 108 ads over ~48 hours, each offering an "official" desktop client that doesn't exist. πΈ Mac victims got AMOS or MacSync β stealers targeting passwords, Telegram data, and wallet seed phrases πΈ Clipboard hijackers swapped copied wallet addresses for attacker-controlled ones πΈ C2 servers hid behind BSC smart contracts, letting hackers rotate infrastructure on the fly Reddit paused the ads after the campaign was flagged; victim counts remain unknown, per Malwarebytes. The streaming service itself wasn't breached β just its account. The verified checkmark did the rest. Decrypt
