I have an activity on my Mac called player.hotmart.com. I neither use the Mac nor visit this website, yet it is "used" 24 hours a day.
I had the same issue on my iPhone and managed to fix it by resetting it. However, I don't want to reset my MBP. I already tried to delete the Safari cache and so on.
Any tips? Is this malware? Screenshots attached.

Hey Leroy,
Thanks for your help!
yes I saw their website, but I've never used it and actually don't know which site could use it in the background. I mean it's still active when Safari is not even running or my Mac is on sleep mode. I created a report with Etrecheck
And here my login items
But I am using mos.app like already a year. it occurred first 1,5 weeks ago. I am not using any cleaners or VPNs

How can I stop player.hotmart.com from running 24/7 on my Mac?
