Well I guess I'm eating crow for suggesting MacOS was secure. JESUS lmfao, this one is nasty.

    It is really scary navigating, but I'm hoping being careful is still enough for most of what I do.

    These sorts of attacks rely on a person finding themselves in a pretty shady situation already. You would have had to responded to some shady Web link or some shady email, and already clicked on a few shady links to get to the point where you were screen sharing with some bad actor somewhere. This exploit would have to be run on someone who was already pretty far down the rabbit hole.

    If you’re pretty careful, you would never get started in the first place.

    In fact, sometimes you will see these reports, and it turns out that these exploits exist only in a lab where they tested it, and haven’t been discovered in the real world
