Psynthax Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Hello! I have an issue with my macbook pro, somebody seems to be able to hack into the OS and make sure your macbook is slow as hell.. I have been running monero cryprocurrency deamon and it downloaded less then 40GB but the process in activity monitor showed around 200GB, also google helper process showed 23GB written.. it is very dangerous for SSD macs that you cannot change or modify. I think they might make OS slow by messing with system bus or something... any way to defend against attack ?
