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.
Is there info the attack vector anywhere?
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.

I’m not convinced that third party security suites on Windows have a net positive effect. They create new vulnerabilities, and they introduce new and off-brand interaction patterns to the users (security warnings, popups, reminders, etc) which make it easier to trick users into clicking on a malicious popup.
Maybe there are very specific cases where a system needs to be hardened by using specific security software, but in general I think the OS should handle security for general use.deleted by creator
