What happened
On 7 November 2026 the security researchers MalwareHunterTeam (@malwrhunterteam) posted on X that a Mac sample named SkyLawsInstaller.dmg is served from apple.eu10hub[.]com/get_file?file=91A2T8Ehs06E, sarcastically calling the sample "obviously totally legit, impossible to be (some boring Mac) malware", with a screenshot. The domain is not an Apple distribution channel, and Apple is not involved.
How the scam works
The screenshot shows a standard macOS disk image window titled SkyLaws-Installer, with a blue coin-style app icon labelled SkyLaws, an arrow to the Applications folder and the instruction to drag the app to Applications to install, or double-click it to open. This is exactly how genuine Mac software is often packaged, which is why malicious DMG files use the same layout. The hostname begins with apple to suggest an official source, but the real domain is eu10hub.com.
Mac malware delivered as a DMG typically reaches people through fake download sites, search ads, links in chats or social media posts promoting a new app, game or crypto tool. Once opened, such installers often ask the user to right-click and choose Open, or to type their Mac password, so the program can bypass Gatekeeper warnings. Information-stealing malware for macOS commonly targets saved browser passwords, cookies, keychain data and crypto wallets. The post does not name a malware family for this sample.
Download Mac software only from the Mac App Store or the developer's verified website, and be suspicious of any installer that asks you to override security warnings or enter your password in an unexpected dialog. Anyone who opened SkyLawsInstaller.dmg should disconnect the Mac from the internet, delete the app, run a reputable security scan, and change passwords and move crypto funds from a clean device. The details come from the researchers' post and have not been independently checked by scammers.com.
