    I'm curious what people here think of this? Saw it on reddit this morning. It's about malware in k'd plugin installers.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/musicprodu...p&utm_name=iossmf&utm_source=share&utm_term=4

    and this article that was linked there https://the-sequence.com/macos-malware-loader-music-plugin-dmg

    Please don't mistake this for any freaking out about it, I'm totally not. Folks here often have a unique perspective on this, that's all. Anyone ever see this stuff on sister site? I can't say I have

    Thought it was some high level new development in malware, but it seems that hackers these days realized that banking on people's stupidity is more lucrative than trying to bypass AV security. This type of malware is also making the rounds on Windows, but it also targets only stupid people. You get yourself hacked with those.

    It's not a virus, it's an iVirus.
