What is dibbuk

I did some cleaning/upgrading of my mac mini and I wonder if I removed something that I shouldn't have. I do not see it anywhere and after deleting 3 files containing "dibbuk" it still shows up when I look at the console. I got a notice saying it wanted to access or control something during my upgrading process. So I Googled the name and saw that dibbuk means ghost/evil spirit/haunted. And I thought, Oh yeah that's malicious!! HELP. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm crazy!! :D

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

What I meant is I don't see any explanation for dibbuk to be in my computer anywhere. My question, does anyone know what it is? Did I delete an innocent or even necessary thing? please and thanks :)

It may be possible that your Mac was "infected" by some form of malware/adware. I suggest that you try using Malwarebytes for Mac to see if it can detect and remove it for you. Note that they offer a free trial period.
