Something to be aware of...

https://www.independent.co.uk/life-styl ... 05582.html

Security researchers have discovered a piece of malware called Silver Sparrow on 30,000 Mac computers, including those with Apple’s latest M1 chips.

The malware, discovered and documented by Malwarebytes and Red Canary, “did not exhibit the behaviors that we’ve come to expect from the usual adware that so often targets macOS systems.”

Instead, spreading across 153 countries, the malware is designed to deliver a payload that the researchers have yet not discovered.

It also has a system in place to self-destruct - hiding its existence totally.

Does it mean I need to wear a mask when using my Mac, keep 2m from the screen and only use it for "essential use" ??



That one slipped passed me, thanks for the heads up

Used Malwarebytes for a few years now and runs in the background and now and again pops up with something wrong.

Can well recommend it
