New ClickLock Stealer locks your Mac until you hand over your password

ClickLock Stealer is a macOS infostealer delivered via phishing pages that locks victims' Macs by terminating processes, stealing passwords, browser data, and cryptocurrency wallets. It employs a GSocket backdoor for persistent remote access and forces users to submit their macOS password via a fake prompt, with a kill loop disabling system functions until compliance.
