I [have seen that](https://www.jamf.com/blog/cryptojacking-macos-malware-discovered-by-jamf-threat-labs/) Ventura has much tighter inspections of modifications to executables. From that article : >The more stringent codesigning checks in Ventura verify that all notarized apps are correctly signed and have not been modified by unauthorized processes, even after the first launch. This is an improvement from previous versions of macOS, where Gatekeeper would only validate applications during their initial launch and would regard the file as trusted once it was successfully launched. Should I stick with the previous MacOS version for as long as possible? I really don't want to have to give money to fucking Adobe. ::: spoiler spoiler Also - shut up, the apple lappie was literally half price because of a superficial tiny dent on one corner. I mostly use Linux. :::
