Howard Oakley writes ..... //No matter how good your security is, you’re still vulnerable to fraud. There’s nothing in macOS to protect you, fraudulent apps are commonly notarised and some are even supplied from the App Store. Software firewalls such as Lulu and Little Snitch can’t help either, and keeping macOS up to date is ineffective. Fraud is a broad category covering apps that aren’t exactly malicious but aim to extract money from you, to those that don’t come close to doing what they claim. By far the most common and obvious are those that promise loans and other financial benefits, then just fleece you. Sadly, those aren’t uncommon in the App Store, and there are several independent folk who generously devote their time to identifying those that have slipped past Apple’s scrutiny, which appears more focussed on detecting true malware.// More, here:- https://eclecticlight.co/2026/04/19/last-week-on-my-mac-dont-be-a-victim-of-fraud/ -- Kind regards, David
