Are Apple computers really that protected?
Everyone is familiar with the myth that Apple computers are protected against spyware, which has given Apple a lot of credit and especially a reputation over the years when it comes to computer security.
But not only is this myth untrue, security researchers at Malwarebytes and Red Canary have found a sophisticated spyware on some 30,000 Apple computers, and it is estimated that it was designed to "have fun" in the thought of developing sophisticated spyware for Apple computers, without causing real harm to users .
The Great Danger: The spyware was so sophisticated that it included a self-destruct mechanism that removed any trace of its existence.
The potential danger is great, and could end up in 30,000 Apple computers whose information has been passed on to hostile parties or, alternatively, hackers who have demanded ransom for the information.
