Linux, macOS users infected with malware posing as legitimate Go packages

Threat actors are typosquatting popular Go packages such as Hypert and Layout to drop malware on Linux and macOS systems.

"If an app asks for Android permissions that it doesn't rightfully need (like screen recording permissions for a BMI app), deny it; who knows what kind of things the app can harvest if you allow it?"

Huh? Don't install it in the first place! Because, "who knows what kind of things the app can…" 🤦‍♂️

Of course, if unsure, reaching out to the devs for clarification is fair. But make sure the answer is reasonable.

🤣🤣🤣 @cnnbrk Here’s some breaking news, CNN Breaking News. Not everyone is running Brave. I don’t. Many do run privacy controls. How ironic that our privacy controls are blocking your “privacy protections,” and you insist we should TRUST YOU. Is that like trusting Meta to protect users’ phone numbers by passing their chats through Meta servers…?

So hilarious. Thank you for self-deselecting from my trusted news sources. 🤣🤣🤣
