Although most mac users I know have no anti-virus installed. Then I usually recommend people like my parents to buy Malwarebytes for Mac. In the past it was mainly just adware - PUP such as MacKeeper. But today, it's mostly malware like atomic stealer that steals browser cookies, passwords and crypto wallets. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that nothing can currently protect you from more personalised attacks such as Pegasus :/
As expensive as a Mac is, I wouldn't be surprised if a virus was made to specifically target its users. Think about it: Macs are often seen as a status symbol, and many of their users are perceived to be wealthier. Cybercriminals know this and might see targeting Mac users as a way to get higher returns, considering the likelihood of accessing more valuable personal and financial information. It's not just about the device; it's about who is using it.
If you are using the apostrophe to indicate a plural, it's "macs". If you are using it to indicate missing letters i.e. Macintoshes, then mac's would work. Gotta love English.
2:33 apple actually fixed(broken) the right click open now. you'll have to go into the privacy settings and allow the app through. also disabling gatekeeper is much harder now. it's either a good thing (from a security standpoint) or a bad thing (from a usability standpoint) it's so stupid.
as someone who was given a Macbook air M1, yes. macOS is suffering, minus the terminal is actually alright. the user interface is pretty but tortured. I would rather use gnome.
Anything that runs on the internet with potential vulnerabilities can be hacked or get viruses (local machines that don't connect to the internet can get hacked too but most things are mainly on the internet). Think it's a certain crowd that assumes mac's are free from harm.
Will it be possible to test it under macOS Sequoia. I know Apple has made a lot of dramatic changes to both Gatekeeper and xProtect with the latest version of macOS, in an attempt to beat the latest developments in malware in 2023. And that some malware has already been successful in bypassing Gatekeeper by guiding users to run the software through the terminal.
The statement “Mac's don't get viruses” refers to viruses as in software that spreads itself from Mac to Mac, without any active help from the user itself. Something that “allegedly” has not happened since Mac OS X (OS 10), whether this is true in a world of Pegasus and similar Israeli spyware is not for me to say. But malware like atomic stealer is not what people are talking about when they make the above remark.
That's a worm not a virus. Technically viruses refer to programs that infect files (not a common occurence these days), but it's a synonym for malware.
@@EricParker Interesting, I have always corrected people using the statement that Mac's don't get viruses, but are still vulnerable to Malware installed by the user itself. By simply telling them that all malware belongs to the category virus.

Macs DO get viruses.
All malware can be referred to as viruses, so Yes "Mac's Do get viruses". However, that is not what the statement refers to.
@@nickvogelius Ik, but many people thought that macs don't get viruses.

I don't like Apple but I can't blame them for this one. Don't open file attachments from strangers isn't a new concept lol
Triage has the password listed as root on their site
I bet he's so good at cyber security, he runs a vm inside a vm
Isn't "mac's" an error? Shouldn't it be "macs"?

There is no such thing as coincidence
Ive always heard Mac users suffer enough without viruses. Mostly from my dad.
