- VirusTotal introduced macOS Mirage, a next-generation dynamic analysis sandbox for Apple Silicon with Sigma detections, targeting macOS infostealers.
- Motivation: malware now abuses Apple's hardware architecture to pop fake password prompts; enterprises need interactive manual triggering inside a rebuilt sandbox.
- The same blog also reports that the fast-growing personal AI agent ecosystem (OpenClaw skills) is being weaponized as a new malware delivery channel.
