Watch out for phishing sites ending in “.zip” or “.mov” — Google has started selling these domains that look like file names. In some cases (like on Twitter), a typed file name may automatically become a link, which could potentially lead to a malicious domain.

Again, .zip domains should *not* be for sale. Google had the opportunity to own the .zip TLD while *not* selling domains for it, specifically to prevent this kind of abuse. There’s already an apparent Microsoft phishing site (screenshot in this thread). 🤦🏼‍♂️

Can’t run the latest macOS version on your older Mac? There’s an app for that! 😄 Many old Macs (circa 2008 or later) can be upgraded to Monterey—unofficially, unsupported, and at your own risk—and some may soon be able to run Ventura, too.

Update: Apple released Safari 15.6.1 for macOS Big Sur and Catalina to address the WebKit vulnerability. However, it remains unknown whether these older macOS versions are affected by the actively exploited kernel vulnerability—and whether Apple will patch them accordingly.

Apple has been caught many times notarizing #macOS malware. This automated “stamp of approval” can enable #malware to infect Macs more easily. Don’t rely on #Apple alone to protect your Mac—use a trusted anti-malware solution. We’ve got you covered. 😇

@objective_see @Apple Yes, indeed—and this isn’t even the first example of notarized, M1-native malware. Sadly, Apple’s notarization process is deeply flawed, and is easily (and frequently) rendered useless by malware makers. #Apple #Mac #malware #M1
