Security Bite: Malware your Mac can detect and remove<div class="feat-image">
</div><p>Hello 2025…and goodbye 2024! It’s been an exciting first year hosting the
Security Bite column on
9to5Mac. I had the privilege of talking with many leaders in the security industry and traveling to places I never thought I’d find myself. In October, I took to the column on the road–sky and tracks, too–traveling to Kyiv to meet with world-class security engineers and to attend
Objective-See‘s Objective for the We v2.0 event. It was an experience I’ve yet been able to put into words—maybe a story for another day.</p>
<p>I digress. In this final edition of
Security Bite for fiscal 2024, I updated a story that I started working on in May of last year. Because Apple is continuously updating its XProtect suite to combat the latest malware trends, this piece will continue evolving. </p>
<p>Ever wonder what malware macOS can detect and remove without help from third-party software? Apple continuously adds new malware detection rules to Mac’s built-in XProtect suite. While most rule names (signatures) are obfuscated, with a bit of reversing engineering, security researchers can map them to their common industry names. See below what malware your Mac can remove!</p>
