The new version will make it harder to bypass Gatekeeper.
Apple announced an update to the next version of macOS, which will make it harder for attackers to bypass Gatekeeper protection.
Gatekeeper is an important line of defense in macOS, ensuring that only trusted applications run. When you download a program from the Internet and run it for the first time, the system verifies that the application was developed by an identified developer, has a signature, and was not modified to install malware. You also need user approval before launching third-party apps.
In the new version of macOS Sequoia, which is expected to be released in September, Apple has further tightened the protection mechanism. Now users will not be able to bypass Gatekeeper using the Control+combination.LMB for opening unsigned software. To open it, you will need to go to "System Settings" > "Privacy and Security" to get acquainted with the program's security information and confirm its launch.
The change is aimed at combating malware and backdoors targeting macOS, which often do not have a digital signature and can trick users into bypassing Gatekeeper protection. For example, North Korean hackers distributed an unsigned DMG file disguised as a legitimate MiroTalk video call service. After the victim, ignoring the Apple security warning, clicked open the file via Control+LCM, the malware was activated.
