Many macOS users, including my family and friends, have been under the impression that Macs are not affected by malware and thus do not need security software. After this week, I hope the point is clear; that assumption is wrong, and Macs need antivirus software.

This week a new ransomware called ThiefQuest was discovered that was distributed through pirated software on Torrent sites. Containing numerous features, including a keylogger, reverse shell, and spyware capabilities, ThiefQuest hit the macOS like a sledgehammer.
