Well, Swordmaker was Apple (I pinged him), but he hasn't been on since the beginning of 2024 (April 2024, I think)...
(Hope he is ok)

dayglored is computers in general, and ShadowAce is tech/Linux.

Those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head..

Likewise, I hope he's okay, he's had to weather some rough times in recent years. I don't know if he's affected by the recent LA fires; last I knew he was in that general area but that was a while ago.

Well strictly speaking I (dayglored) mostly stick to Windows/Microsoft things because I run the Windows Ping List. But in fact my personal computers are mostly MacOS, and my favorite working environment is Linux, so I do get involved in those discussions as well.

I'll have to do some more reading about this Mac malware, sounds nasty.

Squantos has been MIA for a while also.

I would think Apple would add this malware definition to XProtect.
