Thanks so much for covering Leap! I was always curious how actual tech-savvy people would ever argue that Macs were "immune to viruses"; especially considering the VERY FIRST self-replicating program was written on an Apple II. Speaking of; do you have any plans to cover Elk Cloner?
They all fell for Apple's bullshit marketing. Anyone who is actually tech savvy knows that literally anything that can run code can get a virus. This bullshit bit Apple in the ass, and now I'm just waiting for someone to write a mass-panic worthy chromebook virus so Google can learn the same lesson.
The most shocking thing about MacOS still to this day is that I frequently here diehard fans still say "Macs don't get viruses". Of course they do! They're computers, of course there are viruses for MacOS!!
Indeed. It's merely a convenience issue. There was simply no reason for most malware to be written for a system most PC's do not use. However malware and other security issues on Apple products have only become more common due to the popularity of MacBooks, iPhones etc. so anyone still repeating that myth is definitely not aware of how things are now.
Yeah, Mac user here, not all of us are stupid enough to think we can’t get viruses. macOS is inherently more secure as it requires authentication from the user to install any software and apps can’t access system level control without direct modification to settings from the user. but you still can’t just go around downloading every .app file you find on the pirate bay.
then, why are there not viruses on Android? excluding the obvious WineHQ warning of avoiding root runtime on both Android and Linux. I've never heard of anyone spoiled with an user file
I had a very casual relationship with my digital illustration prof in art school at the height of the Mac vs. PC ad campaign. I primarily worked digitally and was a custom built PC user. 100% of the labs at the school were Mac, and I HATED them. I got into a Mac vs. PC conversation with that prof one day, and he went on about how Macs were just easier to use, blah blah, the normal talking points. "Yeah and you're paying out the nose for a fancy aluminum box with an apple on it with inferior hardware inside of it. I'll keep my PC that's three times stronger that I built for less than half the cost of those Macs, thanks." "But Macs are so much easier to use with zero maintenance and no having to worry about viruses. PCs have so much shit you have to do to keep them running well." "Antivirus software and setting your hard drive to defrag once every couple months isn't a monumental task." "But it's still shit you have to do." "Well yeah, but even your car will break down and stop running if you don't change the oil every so often." "..............goddammit." I won that one. Edited to add: Y'all can "hur-derp r/thathappened" about this silly little exchange all you want; it happened regardless.

@@alaeriia01 Maybe, but if the claim gets to their heads they may do as the OSX users did and think that it is just a Windows thing. I hope that one incident with PinePhone keeps people on their toes.
The only reason it does not get viruses is because not a lot of folks use it overall. The learning gap between Linux and most other oses, despite possibly being actually very small, is impossible for the average user of computers, same type to fall for scams and shit like that. This leads to devs for viruses not existing, and even if they did, they would face tougher people they would have to trick, since, while they may not be smart still, average Linux user is about.... 0.1% smarter than the average pc/Mac user at the very least. And I can say this as a Linux user myself! Infact, if Linux use becomes easier (IE:pre-installed in some way and just more apps can be used in it.) Then, viruses will start to properly appear, since it's taking a bit of the pie now, and thus getting to the general public who might not even know what the fuck a wifi is.
Earlier versions of OS X seemed to be an attempt by Apple engineers to get a Mac experience on NextStep in a hurry, even if it meant bypassing the security features. I remember hearing about inbuilt apps that were made to run as setuid root, automatically changing the permissions of any files they touched, so ordinary user tasks would fail. If I remember correctly, even the Apple menu was running as setuid root and could be convinced to launch apps with the same root permissions! Fortunately it seems that Apple has fixed a lot of that kind of stuff over the years, but I do still wonder whether there are egregious security problems still residing in the underlying system courtesy of a hurried 1990s Apple coder...
@@otherlego I think you may be confused, current versions of MacOS (and OS X) were built on the NextStep operating system (loosely), the operating system that was developed by NextStep, which Steve Jobs ran after he was fired from apple. What 3rdalbum is saying, is that while making NextStep more MacOS like, some things were rushed, and they fear that some of it might remain.
As for the permissions problems, Apple shipped with Mac OS X a utility that would repair any messed-up permissions on system files. It's hard to see how permissions would get messed-up if the security system was working correctly - I've never had any equivalent problem on Linux unless I caused it myself. I doubt it's as much of a problem on OS X as it used to be. I'm sure it's not. Apple has done a lot of work on securing the operating system through better design.
The file permissions issues were caused by the Classic Environment (the feature that let you run MacOS 9 software on OS X), as a consequence of getting a system and software that had no concept of permissions or file ownership to work well on a system that does have those things.
I got a terrible virus (not even sure if virus is the correct terminology) on my phone once, I have no idea how that was even possible. But there would constantly be pop up screens and apps opening on my phone. It was so fucking annoying. This was back in 2017-2018.. my memory is telling me 2017-2018. It was also probably an iPhone 6 7 or 8.. that was such a weird experience
i've now watched and rewatched this video and both times despite how informative and interesting everything was the desktop file named "Will and Grace Fanfiction" still sticks out to me as the best part
Me too. I was in art school at the time for illustration and EVERY SINGLE COMPUTER LAB at the school was 100% Macs. I hated them. At the peak of that ad campaign I had the thought that yes, okay, if you're a blithering idiot then get a Mac and pay out the nose for an aluminum box. I'll stick to my custom PC rig that's 3x more powerful built for less than half the price with antivirus software and _a single ounce of common sense._ 🙄
I hate how Mac users still believe that using Windows in itself isn't secure at all you'll get viruses. Do you want to know how many viruses I got on my PC for the last few years or so?! The answer is 0. So, If you do have bad web browsing habits. You'll eventually get viruses no matter what platform you're using.

It’s actually funny how easy it would’ve been to write this virus, probably some high schooler wrote it. Usually an inevitability when you are young and start learning scripting and automation, you start with bulk copying and moving, then renaming, then you get curious if you can mess up you friends files by bulk renaming them. Then you move on to trying out things on the school LAN. I used to mess around at random internet cafes back then when internet wasn’t easily accessible. Whom ever it is, is probably sitting back laughing at all this while his wife makes dinner and kids playing. Probably has a small and steady SAAS company. Just a shot in the dark

15 years using os x and I never got a virus lol I remember that when I was using windows, I formatted it all the time, not because of viruses, because it becomes slow and full of errors over time.
I’ve never heard of Leap, but I’ve heard of other Mac malware. Mac malware usually doesn’t have a ton of analysis or information about how it works, so Mac malware is still fairly obscure, however, it is still foolish to not have anti-malware software on your Mac and take proper precautions. I’ve been a Mac user for over a decade, and I do weekly backups to an offline external hard drive and have anti-malware protection. I also practice good computer security habits, like not executing a file if I am unsure of its source. While I believe XProtect is pretty robust, it’s only your first line of defense. Mac malware may be few and far between, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Why do you antivirus on a Mac? You mean like a program that detects if files downloaded are good or bad? Because Xprotect is literally goood enough. Set your settings correctly and you wont need any antivirus bogging down your speed or RAM. You literally have to be dumb to get malware on a Mac. Not even kidding. And this is from someone who got malware once actually twice on a mac. I stopped downloading bad files after that heh heh.
team macOS! I’ve been using macOS/ OS X since Snow Leopard and I’ve never had malware issues, just like any computer, all you need to avoid viruses on macOS is a brain between your ears.
@@abandonedmuse I use Malwarebytes just for extra protection. It’s not very expensive and I have heaps of extra RAM, so it’s not really hurting anything.
Considering the Macs in the computer lab at my university were riddled with macro viruses via Microsoft Word back in the 90s, I never for one moment fell for the Mac hype and knew it was only a matter of time before malware became a bigger issue for them.
Mac and Linux are not really safer than windows, the only reason why there are more viruses for windows is because it is the most popular operative system, so its a better target for hackers.
Next I want you to cover those fake flash player plugins which would effect your computer back in the days when they was not that many people worrying about flash security threats, be worth looking into!
I want to try out this virus in a controlled environment, but as you say, not much can't be found online anymore, dead links, a lot of data yes, but the original file is a ghost like you said. Can you share this file with me? I really want to try it out (i have knowledge about macs and pc's and knows how to safely open up virusses, if that even is a thing :p )
Yeah, I've got a Pro because of a state program I was part of......They let me keep it because, by the time I left the program, it was a few years old....I remember quite vividly the tech guy basically giving me a gentle warning on this matter.....Yes, they're less susceptible, but that doesn't mean they're *immune* to viruses. A couple months later, he and I were chatting and he cheerily brought up how he found one on someone else's Pro.
The same is being said about Linux never getting viruses, when in reality the servers that run it routinely get hit by worms and ransomware, and even Linux PCs can download trojans/trojan scripts from unsecured repositories or DOCX attachments. (Though it is rare.) And we've gained quite a few Win11 refugees lately (including myself lol), I fear that we might one day get a similar "rite-of-passage" worm attack if we too get big enough for malware authors to take notice- which this right here was for Mac users. On the other hand, everything you do involving the system on such PCs requires you to manually input a password yourself, and non-secured repositories are ignored by default in the package updater.

A great video as always! I have a request: Can you make videos about those? Worms: Morris, Hybris, Blaster. Viruses: Fun, Pikachu, WannaCry. If you have others planned, you can make those requests later :)
I remember... The trauma...
“I was trying to make some good plane jokes, but they would have flown over your head” I get it.
15 years using os x and I never got a virus lol
I remember that when I was using windows, I formatted it all the time, not because of viruses, because it becomes slow and full of errors over time.
honestly i love the whole skeuomorphic thing going on: look at that word doc. i love it.
I’ve never heard of Leap, but I’ve heard of other Mac malware.
Mac malware usually doesn’t have a ton of analysis or information about how it works, so Mac malware is still fairly obscure, however, it is still foolish to not have anti-malware software on your Mac and take proper precautions.
I’ve been a Mac user for over a decade, and I do weekly backups to an offline external hard drive and have anti-malware protection.
I also practice good computer security habits, like not executing a file if I am unsure of its source.
While I believe XProtect is pretty robust, it’s only your first line of defense.
Mac malware may be few and far between, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
my dad is one of those 'turn your back and pc explodes' kind. his 2015 mac routinely gets malware like it's nobody's business
Why do you antivirus on a Mac? You mean like a program that detects if files downloaded are good or bad? Because Xprotect is literally goood enough. Set your settings correctly and you wont need any antivirus bogging down your speed or RAM. You literally have to be dumb to get malware on a Mac. Not even kidding. And this is from someone who got malware once actually twice on a mac. I stopped downloading bad files after that heh heh.
team macOS! I’ve been using macOS/ OS X since Snow Leopard and I’ve never had malware issues, just like any computer, all you need to avoid viruses on macOS is a brain between your ears.
@@lucymorrison wait wait, but they definitely get malware. I fell into that trap and it bit me in the ass. Just yeah, be careful.
@@abandonedmuse I use Malwarebytes just for extra protection.
It’s not very expensive and I have heaps of extra RAM, so it’s not really hurting anything.
5:04 I like the edit of showing an actual cpu running an old OS, or did you really do a hackingtosh and run it just for the video?
It's like how getting your first piece of hate mail means your famous
16:13 "Giant leap for mac-kind" was literally right there!!!!
5:03
Version 10.4.1
Immediately under that: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core
idk why but I just find this funny and cursed
"But you know what's plain right? War thunder!"
*You got one of those words right*
3:48 fudge! You made a plane pun!😂
Considering the Macs in the computer lab at my university were riddled with macro viruses via Microsoft Word back in the 90s, I never for one moment fell for the Mac hype and knew it was only a matter of time before malware became a bigger issue for them.
I seem to remember in the late 80s the Macintosh had a bigger virus problem than the PC.
6:43 ah yes, flash cs5
5:03 ah yes, the classic iMac with Ryzen
9:05 Ain’t nobody gonna talk about how bro had a Viking in IChat.(for those who don’t know Leif Eriksson was a Viking
Good video, Keep up the good work!
7:56 What did you say?!?!?!?
Mac and Linux are not really safer than windows, the only reason why there are more viruses for windows is because it is the most popular operative system, so its a better target for hackers.
Is no one going to talk about how it was literally named “the Oompa Loompa virus” 💀
I was scrolling through the comments looking for someone that said this lol
“How to take over the world” and the “scary potatoes” 😂
XD
I love this guy's channel
Me watching this on Windows 11:
"Interesting."
5:03 a ryzen 7 on osx 10.4?! Hackintosh? Or actual modifications?
Next I want you to cover those fake flash player plugins which would effect your computer back in the days when they was not that many people worrying about flash security threats, be worth looking into!
You’re telling me that Mac computers managed to stay under the radar for *22 YEARS?*
I know the airplane joke went over a lot of people's heads 😂
VERY well done video. Loved watching it, and please keep it up. :-)
bro imagine getting toasted by a virus called oompa loompa😂
"Don't forget to check out War Thunder!" "Dude my friend plays War Thunder already"
I REMEMBER THINKING LIKE THAT….then I got a bizarre malware.
13:29 teletubbies cult ritual is WAY too funny oh my god
I want to try out this virus in a controlled environment, but as you say, not much can't be found online anymore, dead links, a lot of data yes, but the original file is a ghost like you said. Can you share this file with me? I really want to try it out (i have knowledge about macs and pc's and knows how to safely open up virusses, if that even is a thing :p )
squid, if you're not a programmer, what are you? you know more about computers than me, currently studying to become a programmer.
Man your desktop on your Mac is bringing huge nostalgia waves for me lolz
okay but the main virus name is making me die right now. Jokes aside, thanks for discovering leap!
15:48 man why are the apps named like that?
love the cigarettes & valentines reference & 14:05
Yeah, I've got a Pro because of a state program I was part of......They let me keep it because, by the time I left the program, it was a few years old....I remember quite vividly the tech guy basically giving me a gentle warning on this matter.....Yes, they're less susceptible, but that doesn't mean they're *immune* to viruses. A couple months later, he and I were chatting and he cheerily brought up how he found one on someone else's Pro.
All the Green Day references and little Easter Eggs... Love it! xD
Great Video!! Funny fact, Mac man from them commercials is now PC man and works for Intel haha
The same is being said about Linux never getting viruses, when in reality the servers that run it routinely get hit by worms and ransomware, and even Linux PCs can download trojans/trojan scripts from unsecured repositories or DOCX attachments. (Though it is rare.) And we've gained quite a few Win11 refugees lately (including myself lol), I fear that we might one day get a similar "rite-of-passage" worm attack if we too get big enough for malware authors to take notice- which this right here was for Mac users. On the other hand, everything you do involving the system on such PCs requires you to manually input a password yourself, and non-secured repositories are ignored by default in the package updater.
That Oompa Loompa Doopity Do joke was incredible! You're getting a like from me just for that!🤣 (Though the rest of the video is great too!)
That advertisement was so annoying, I can see why the most replayed is the part where the ad ends.
Sorry but there were Mac viruses way before this. On system 7 and 8. Stuff like the Robert DeNiro virus.
