The 9to5Mac Security Bite podcast returns with Part 2 of its deep dive into infostealers, focusing on malware delivery methods. In this episode, host Arin Waichulis continues his conversation with Kseniia (@osint_barbie) and Mykhailo (@xor3r) from Moonlock Lab, MacPaw's cybersecurity research arm.

Following their discussion of infostealers' meteoric rise in Part 1, the researchers now examine how malware infiltrates systems and why social engineering has evolved to its next stage. The episode explores the technical mechanisms behind infostealer distribution and the sophisticated tactics attackers use to compromise machines.

Moonlock Lab, known for its 2025 macOS threat report, brings expert insight into the changing landscape of Apple device security. The conversation highlights how traditional security assumptions about macOS are being challenged by increasingly sophisticated threats. As infostealers become more prevalent, understanding their delivery mechanisms becomes crucial for both enterprise IT professionals and everyday Apple users.
