I’ve known that this was a myth for some time (saying an OS can’t get a virus is like saying a lock can’t be picked) but was completely floored to find just how prevalent this myth is. Despite how many people try to say otherwise, you can get viruses and malware on Mac. Today, we’re going to discuss how you can prevent Mac viruses and malware, what you can do if you suspect your Mac is infected, and tackle the age-old question of whether Macs can get viruses in the first place. There is a lot of misinformation on Mac viruses and malware (as well as malware/viruses in general), so I wanted to use this post as a place to clear things up. In addition to being fascinated and terrified by the potential of the attack, it also raised a concern I hadn’t had on my Mac before: How I could prevent Mac viruses and malware. I recently wrote a post covering the Silver Sparrow malware attack that began near the end of 2020.
