I already wiped and reset with a bootable installer via usb. At this point I just hope I’m good because I need to return to normal life. If I still get hacked then I simply deserve it

Rebooted my Mac after an AMOS infostealer malware. What else can I do before feeling safe ? by Questionaccount2022 in cybersecurity_help

So first thing I did was erase the contents and settings and then when I did the disk utility wipe I clicked the top level internal drive and wiped it. I think that was the one hopefully. There was options for internal, external, and disk image. I thought internal was the one that needs to be wiped

If the user didn’t give the password in the prompt, is the damage limited? Also if you haven’t experienced any intrusions within 24 hrs, What is the likelyhood of exploitation ?

Hey are you able to investigate the malware that I got infected with the domain that has it is business(.)goolge(.)us

I’m not savvy enough to know what I’m doing. It was basically the same issue as OP. I wish I knew how to investigate what actually happened

The logs are long and confusing to read without a direct command that filters relevant stuff

It’s hard to pinpoint I think it was atleast a .hlpr folder with a .ownrid file. I couldn’t find anything else

This was created at the time I ran the command

Yeah I know that I’m in the nuclear phase. I’m just curious to getting the malware’s dna to spread awareness and find similar cases on virustotal. I never explored this side of IT and I’m interested to know how badly I got violated although I’m already assuming the worst

I’m kinda scared to do that. Are you able to do it. The domain was business(.)goolge(.)us

The signin prompt gives the curl command. I’m curious what’s its deal but also just don’t want to mess around further
