I hope it has something to do with Mcafee. Furthermore I will be doing a screen share with apple soon to ascertain if these files are legitimate.Īny idea why these privileges would be altered? I did not perform these changes so I was hoping for some insight regarding this.

There are no unusual files in launchagents. ’Last’ command in terminal does not show evidence of suspicious user logins, there are several bizarre files including strange plist files under the folder ‘sharing’ in my user library but otherwise there is nothing remarkable. Wifi is usually disabled and computer is unpowered when not in use. My imac only connects to the internet when I need to update applications perhaps 10-20 minutes every week or so. I have too many files to keep track so I cannot tell if any changes occured however recently I discovered file privileges were changed from ‘read only’ to ‘read and write’ for all users, could this be a glitch or evidence of hacker activity?

I was able to activate the product via assistance through the mcafee tech support phone number provided on the physical product box and installed mcafee through the real mcafee website by manually typing the correct url and disabling siri suggestions, and url auto fill in addition to clearing safari history. The only security vulnerability I can think of was when I was installing an antivirus (mcafee) it redirected to a malicious website, I will not share the link but it is a Thai website (it is written in Thai characters) parodying the official Mcafee activate page.

Imac: File privileges for ‘staff’ and ‘everyone’ were changed to ‘read and write’ instead of default ‘read only’ I did not initiate this change.
