A side note I love monero though!

A new strain of malicious software infecting Apple’s Macs is mining monero, researchers with cybersecurity firm Malwarebytes announced. In a blog post Tuesday, the antivirus software developer revealed that an innocuous Mac process called “mshelper” was being abused on infected machines to mine monero for an unknown attacker. Malwarebytes director of Mac and mobile Thomas Reed wrote that a combination of malicious processes utilized large amounts of central processing unit (CPU) power, but was “not particularly dangerous” to Macs.
