With this and most malware it requires the user or someone with physical access to actually install it. From the link “Threat actors used GitHub repositories as a key distribution method for Banshee.”.


This is why I try to be careful what I download and install. Is it from a reputable company or is it some individual developer on GitHub? Nothing wrong with individual developers but you better be sure that person is trustworthy. Big companies have lots to lose but on the Internet, individuals can be fairly anonymous.

Always ask… Do you need it? Is the developer trustworthy? Are you downloading it from a trusted source? If you’re not sure about any of those questions then don’t do it.

It’s nice to see people pointing out that macOS is not invincible to malware. No BS anti malware software is going to protect you.
