What a useless article. Malware as a service has existed for years and years. No information about what vulnerability is exploited (if any at all), how it is spread or if it has even actually been spotted in the wild.

Zero details on how the malware launches an attack, no advice other than keep updated and hope that makes you safe.

These features and other protections built into macOS (which we will discuss in more detail below) mean it’s not an essential requirement to install antivirus software on your Mac.

However, as good as these protections are, there have been occasions when malware has managed to infiltrate the Mac platform, and times when Apple hasn’t responded to a threat as quickly as Mac users might hope. If you want the very best protection from threats, therefore, consider adding a dedicated Mac security suite.

Is there info the attack vector anywhere?
