Apple macOS Screen Sharing Flaw Exploited on Internet-Exposed Macs to Install Monero Miner
Well I guess I’m eating crow for suggesting MacOS was secure. JESUS lmfao, this one is nasty.
“Would Rust have solved this” oops, nope

Good for the Monero miner.
They can earn some money off of idiots.
How are people idiots for screen sharing with zoom and getting hacked by something even Apple did not know about?
[…] screen sharing with zoom
It’s a bit more nuanced than that and most casual users likely are not vulnerable to this exploit:
[…] requires the target Mac to have Screen Sharing or Remote Management enabled with “VNC viewers may control screen with password” configured and the attacker is already in possession of that VNC password
Regardless, victim blaming is still lame
