Follow on.


The Operating System Big Sur is housed in a Sealed and Read Only Volume that can not be opened by the User nor by Third Party Applications.


The only Entity that can open and modify or alter this Volume is Apple.


That would occur when a update or UpGrade is performed.


The Only Area of this Hacker can access would the the User Account " Home Folder "

For this computer to be hacked, it would require the Hacker to have Direct & Physical access to this computer


They would also have to know the Administrator Password to boot up the computer


Only then, they could load there Hacking Software onto this computer.


Unless the user has offered the Admin Password or left the Password in an Open Public Place - it is doubtful a Hacker could access this computer
