PamStealer comes to Intel Macs: Analyzing the x86_64 build of a Rust macOS stealer

In late August 2026, automated telemetry identified an in-the-wild sample of PamStealer , an emerging Rust-based macOS information stealer first documented by Jamf Threat Labs .

This analyzed artifact is the Intel ( x86_64 ) architecture slice of a multi-architecture fat binary, confirming that the threat actors have expanded their build pipeline to ensure uniform execution across legacy and modern Apple hardware.
