off topic- but got this in an email the other day from a relative who has a mac- seems there is some concern about someone using mac os somehow having stolen personal info- Don’t kow the details, I don’t use mac- but it looked pretty bad-
Fruitfly was discovered in January 2017. It is spread by a Trojan or by physical access to the victim's computer. It was determined to have infected approximately 400 total Macs. That's it. To claim that "millions of images were stolen" is totally absurd and complete hype as it apparently was the work of a single person a pervert, named Phillip R. Durachinsky, who is now under arrest and being prosecuted.
When discovered in January, it was primarily found on Mac computers located in biological, chemical, genetic, and pharmaceutical laboratories in college, university, and commercial settings, hence the name "FruitFly" and was originally thought to be a commercial espionage effort. All infections have a phone home component that lead to a single server and the server was tapped by the discoverers and they found the approximately 400 computers that were reporting in/or were being watched. The location of the server was not known until the authorities located it in the possession of Durachinsky.
They have found he also has been running versions of FruitFly for Windows PC. . . and the higher number of claimed infections may be coming from those PCs, not Macs, because this is an Intel based code which the authorities claim has been in the wild for 13 years, yet Apple only switched to Intel based processors ten years ago and the earliest Apple Mac based version of FruitFly found was for OS X.9 Mavericks which was released only four years ago. Ergo, FruitFly probably has been around a lot longer on Windows machines. However, it should be noted that the code is only two lines long and WILL run on any Intel Mac that is OLDER than the Mavericks version. There is just no evidence that it did.
