 Macs are being targeted more and more these days. Anti-malware programs, and anti-virus programs are more important than ever to install on your Mac. What was new to me though, was that installed apps on a Mac, once legitimate, could become malware.
Apparently there was a time when the automatic light and dark mode on a Mac was not provided by Apple, but was done via a third party app. This has become a problem on the older Macs that are still using a product called NightOwl. According to How To Geek, the original NightOwl program was created to give users the opportunity to switch from light mode to dark mode. Since 2018, this feature has been provided by Apple starting with MacOS Mojave. NightOwl was later sold, however, to another company which injected malicious software into it. If you have NightOwl on your Mac, it is highly recommended that you remove it ASAP. You can read more about it HERE. Comments are closed.
