Exe files cannot run on your Mac. Your crypto account has been compromised externally, not from your computer. This could have been through a phishing message where you inadvertently gave someone your credentials or using one of the many scam Wallet apps that are designed to steal your money.

You are using some very suspect apps:

  • CleanMyMac
  • Kaspersy
  • Crypto Wallets


Get rid of all those and reset your Apple ID Password. If you suspect a malicious app was installed using Terminal, factory resetting your device will solve that problem. You won't be able to restore everything from a backup as that would just load it back to your device. There is no indication that you have installed anything using terminal, but that may ease your concerns. It would appear the problems you are having were due mostly from the Wallet app as there have been scams reported on both of those.

Ya da Türkçe

şunu deneyebilirsin:

sudo killall -9 -u "sshd"

Ayarları açıp "Paylaşma" yazıp çıkan seçeneklerin hepsini devre dışı bırakabilirsiniz. Ayrıca Güvenlik Duvarını açabilirsin.

Şu video bunu anlatıyor:

sudo top

Kullanarak çalışan bazı işlemleri bulabilirsin.

onları şöyle kapatabilirsin:

sudo killall -9 "işlem adı"

Umarım ** işe yarar.

Yes, you can create a program with any name and then run it. Doesn't change the fact that a Windows executable (which is what most .exe files are and what a random scammer would have someone download because of Windows huge market share) won't run on a Mac.


So back to the questions asked before - what exactly did you download and run to make you think that you gave someone access to your computer?
