    Quite interesting article about the sophisticated attack on the 3CXDesktop app which was trojanized not only on Windows but also on macOS, so these hackers meant business! I don't think any security tool on the macOS could have blocked this.

    Hello @Rasheed187

    Thank you for the “heads-up”.

    Although it's currently unclear which and when the industry computer security products have updated their detection algorithms, 3CX has released an updated version of their 3CXDesktopApp product to 18.12.422 that corrects the reported malware issue.

    VirusTotal's malware detection within the previous version of libffmpeg.dylib can be seen by searching for SHA-256 hash: a64fa9f1c76457ecc58402142a8728ce34ccba378c17318b3340083eeb7acc67

    Cheers
