Hi there,
Lately multiple of my accounts have been hacked twice. After the first time I made new accounts including a new iCloud account. Now I got a notification of my Gmail account with a confirmation code, meaning someone has been in my e-mail again, with my new password. I'm not certain how they managed, but I'm trying to find out. I suspect RAT/Trojan/Remote viewing through an app.
Now yesterday I turned off my computer, but apparently it stayed on (I found out this morning). I found the following log. Can someone who understands this better share with me if this is a normal log for a MacBook that's not being used or in sleep mode?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.3
?
I see nothing unusual. System Logs is real a rabbit hole, designed for developers not causal users...
What you posted is no different that what I see if I poke around system logs MAY12:
a request for confirmation code is not a sign you have been 'hacked.'
Your Mac is always reaching back to Apple servers...
Apple uses its Software Update service— as a mechanism for installing “background and critical” updates that are installed silently in the background with no notifications to the user.
The current stable release of Monterey including bug fixes, is macOS 12.3.1
