I'll probably regret saying, but I've been running High Sierra forever, and plan to keep doing so. Every time I've upgraded, I've run into problems and either lost the software I bought, or upgraded to the new versions which took away features I needed and added ones I didn't (looking at you, Scrivener).
I run Little Snitch and generally feel pretty secure with that. Caught an annoying notification attack just the other day. Not sure why upgrading to a new system is needed, but happy to have my ignorance un-ignored.
Curious if you had any more details about the notification attack you mentioned. I use (and love) Little Snitch and haven't ever noticed anything (actually) nefarious cross my path, so I'm curious what it looked like to you.
Were there any certificate issues? Did LS say it was suspicious? Just curious, thanks!
So uh, I'm more of a DDG a problem when I got it, then fix it that way kind of expert, so I don't exactly remember. I looked in the LS rules, looked in my browser history, can't find it. I remember only being annoyed because it was because I had to switch to safari to buy something, and with no blockers to save me, I kept getting these system-wide notifications. Me being an idiot is one of the reasons I asked the question if people were updating for security reasons.
I think we all might be that kind of expert ;)
No big deal. Thanks anyways. Happy browsing
