There is a malicious #phishing #fake website impersonating #homebrew for MacOS - sometimes this fake website is even featured as sponsored ad when searching for „homebrew“ on #Google!

!!! Please take care to not fall for it !!!

When you visit the fake website, you are guided to copy a WRONG curl command that supposedly retrieves and installs Homebrew. While the legitimate one is hosted on GitHub, this one pulls it from the attacker’s malicious infrastructure.
After the payload is loaded, a fake prompt for the admin password is repeatedly displayed. That is literally all it takes to lose all your passwords in Apple’s keychain, all your browser cookies, and other valuable data!
 
! Never run commands you are not sure about, and always double-check the sources of what you're using!
