  14-10-2020 18:43 via macworld.com

  17-06-2026 19:22 via macworld.com
  
  Macworld
  When macOS 26.4 Tahoe was released in March, Apple introduced an additional safeguard against malware distribution: if a user pastes lines of code into the Terminal, a warning appears, signaling that the paste was blocked because the copied code could contain malware.
