Safari is an unidentified developer!?

MacBook Pro M1 Max, Monterey 12.0.1

Save a webpage with Safari as a webarchive document. Click to open that document and Monterey says that it cannot be opened because it is from an unknown developer (that would be Apple because it was saved by Safari)! That's clearly a bug!

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

joewheeleremc.com Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with the subject URL? I was given it in error/accident by a relative asking for help. It appears to have downloaded malware or corrupted Safari (16) such that Safari won’t quit (the option was greyed out), and Force Quit didn’t work either. Re-started macOS (12.6.3) and then started Safari, and it went right back to what looks like a web page saying “Access to this PC has been blocked” and “Apple has detected malware”. Also is an instruction to call Apple “toll free” at an 802 area code.

Malware access to control Safari? In SafariI continuously get the message "5642822209630447665” wants access to control “Safari”. Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in “Safari”, and to perform actions within that app." I tried your method listed below but those files are not in my system. Please advise. Thanks! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

search-alpha.com Last week, I received a notification on my iMac (Retina 4k, 21.5 inch, 2019, Ventura 13.4.1) that a new startup script was being initiated by an Unknown Developer. I declined to add it. Then I noticed several startup scripts that I cannot remember authorizing (my current Mac was synced from my previous model in 2019) one from Nike, one from FitBit, and several others that indicated Unknown Developer. I disabled all of those. As of yesterday, links to websites result in opening a page with an address of "search-alpha.com". The page only contains a text box with the word "Search..." and a magnifying glass icon; no other text or icons/images appear on the page. This morning I contacted a vendor via phone and they sent a password reset link via email. When I use the link I am taken to the "search-alpha.com" page. The tab is titled Search Marquis. The only other recent changes I've made to my system is to add a LinkSys Mesh system (1 Parent, 3 Child nodes). Any help is appreciated.
