A virus program has appeared on the macOS operating system, masquerading as popular programs and games, including the note-taking service Notion and even the yet-to-be-released Grand Theft Auto 6. When installing the program, gullible users deliberately ignore macOS Gatekeeper security protection notifications because they come across familiar names . The malware then downloads onto your computer and begins stealing passwords and other personal information.
