Hello guys,

i noticed that the process/file is being allowed in the background.

But I can't figure out what it's related to, could any of you help me?

Thanks!

Do you have NightOwl installed? I believe I noticed this Login Item after NightOwl was updated today (for me). I didn't really like the feel of the whole thing and all the requirements I needed to grant NightOwl during the installation; so I uninstalled it.

The .plist for this was located in /Users/<username>/Library/LaunchAgents

From the NightOwl TOS:

> •WHEREAS, NightOwl app enables Users to share internet traffic by modifying their device's network settings to be used as a gateway for internet traffic. Additionally, the User's device acts as a gateway for NightOwl app's Clients, including companies that specialize in web and market research, SEO, brand protection, content delivery, cybersecurity, etc.

I'd recommend nuking the app.
