//Security researchers have shared details about a now-addressed
security flaw in Apple's macOS operating system that could be
potentially exploited to run malicious applications in a manner that can
bypass Apple's security measures.//

https://thehackernews.com/2022/10/details-released-for-recently-patched.html

Howard Oakley's SilentKnight tool showed THIS result on my iMac recently:-

https://ibb.co/ws2QdTt

"Gatekeeper Unused"

Remember me getting THIS warning recently too?

https://ibb.co/DLLBScF

"Mints.app" was blocked from use because it is not from an identified
developer."

Circumstantial? Hmmm. I was told to ignore the 'warning' and install again.

I felt a modicum of unease about not heeding/ignoring warnings from my
macOS.

Thoughts, anyone?

Not familiar with them. Are there any you use and recommend?

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

I have used ALL of his tools at one time or another.

They give great insight into the workings of one's computer.

For now, though, I am using NONE of HO's tools.
