Spoofing credential dialogs on macOS, Linux and Windows

Attackers can trick users into entering passwords by spoofing credential dialogs (fake password prompts that look legitimate) on macOS, Linux, and Windows after gaining initial access to a computer. On macOS, the osascript command can create fake password prompts; on Linux, zenity with the --password option works similarly; and on Windows, PowerShell's Get-Credential command can be misused. The source emphasizes that detection teams should watch for these suspicious commands in logs and look for specific command-line arguments like --password and 'with hidden answer' to identify attacks.
