Cuckoo is a type of malware that infects computers, including Mac systems, by disguising itself as a legitimate program or file. Once it gains access to a computer, Cuckoo can perform a variety of malicious activities, such as stealing sensitive information, corrupting files, or allowing remote access to the infected system.
One common way that Cuckoo infects Mac systems is through phishing emails or malicious websites. Users may unknowingly download and install the malware by clicking on a link or downloading a file that appears to be harmless. Once installed, Cuckoo can run in the background of the Mac system, making it difficult for users to detect and remove the malware without specialized security software. It is important for Mac users to be cautious when downloading files or clicking on links from unknown sources to prevent Cuckoo and other malware infections.
