Mac users, beware. There's a new malware hiding amongst third-party apps that can steal your sensitive data. Everything from your Mac's hardware information, your notes, and saved passwords can be stolen. It can even capture screenshots of your computer while you use it.

This malware has been named Cuckoo by Kandji, an Apple device security company which recently published a report about its discovery. Here are some of the most alarming details about Cuckoo.

According to Kandji's report, Cuckoo was initially found packaged with a Spotify music downloader app called "DumpMedia Spotify Music." The app claims to help users rip music off of Spotify so they can directly download the audio file as an MP3.

Good thing I’m not a complete retard who uses third party downloaders.

I wish my desktop were more exciting now. The fact is I'm boring as fuck anyway, I don't get into whatever fad is on the horizon this week, I don't have a facefuck, I don't tikcock and I don't have pics of all my amazing and vibrant vacations flashing by.

All I have is you fuckers and your constant jew whine.

They cheated a couple of times but a damn good effort.
