![]() This issue about malware in MacOS is a cyclical, recurrent (and sometimes bored) subject. Is it possible that the malware dissemination was related to the signature inclusion? What is the priority level given to user’s security then? Do we know how much malware is detected by XProtect and how often this seldom-mentioned functionality is updated? Are Gatekeeper and XProtect a way in general to spare their blushes or are they really intended to help mitigate potential infections in MacOS?Īt least, one of the few official websites about XProtect indicates that it is addressed to prevent “known” malware from running (). On top of all this, it was the first XProtect signature update during all 2019. On 19 April, Apple included its signature in XProtect. Trend Micro discovered it and the media made it public, bringing down their reputation. Let’s continue with the detection of the Windows executable: the malware was detected in February, which means that it had been working for some time. However, since then it has not evolved so much. They moved from a categorically deny during the early years of the 21st century to a slight acceptance for finally, since 2009, lightly fight malware. ![]() ![]() The fight that MacOS as a whole has against malware is an absolute nonsense. It might make sense to occasionally include a very particular detection that has been disseminated through the media, but in general the long-term strategy of this antivirus is not so clear, although it is intended to detect “known” malware. Ok, but now seriously, does it make sense? ![]() It was executed by the implementation of Mono, included in the malware itself to read its own code. Recently, MacOS included a signature in its integrated antivirus, intended to detect a binary for Windows but, does this detection make sense? We could think it does, as a reaction to the fact that in February 2019 Trend Micro discovered malware created in. ![]()
