I believe my MacBook Air was hacked

I believe my Mac was hacked. The green light stays on and I do not have control of my mouse. I wanted to download “Clean my Mac” and cannot type the letter ‘l’. 🤷‍♀️


Which program would you suggest to clean it up?

MacBook Air, macOS 14.0

Do NOT download CleanMyMac. It’s garbage and will do more harm than good.


It’s unlikely in the extreme that your Mac was “hacked”.


Start by rebooting in safe mode. Does the problem persist?
