Hi
I've been on a bit of a journey, computer-wise, over the past week.
When I visit www.icloud.com I now see this detail on-screen ... https://jmp.sh/vlXWhTC
I see an /identical/ image at that URL, regardless of whether I'm using Windows XP, Linux Mint or macOS Monterey Version 15.5.1
Why does that surprise you?
Did YOU know that one could see what's on an Apple iMac's screen when
using a Microsoft Windows computer? I most certainly didn't until a week
ago! Yes - it IS outrageous that I didn't know, having been using an
Apple iMac since 2009. <rolls eyes>
???. That is a normal web page which has nothing to do what hardware
*you* use.
More importantly, I had absolutely no idea that the *iCloud DRIVE*
facility effectively works just like a plug-in USB external hard drive -
but it is NEVER scanned by Apple or by any third-party anti-malware software.
Nonsense.
I found files in my iCloud drive harking way back to 2005, long before I
even had a Mac! What a great place for malware to hide in plain sight!
*You* placed it there. Malware as inactive data is absolutely harmless.
May I suggest that YOU check what's installed on YOUR iCloud DRIVE?
No. I have very strict policies in place what is done and what not.
There is now a comprehensive page of information about the iCloud which
may be found here: https://www.apple.com/uk/icloud/ (Do scroll!)
Everything you present here is conspiracy theory.
X-postings eliminated.
