Looks like a lot of viruses Trojans IMO. If they bury the files in a lot of zipped folders I think they're trying to avoid antivirus detection. Send files to virus total
Wow. I got this from a private tracker. From an invite from someone else in this community.
I second this. Scan everything before unzipping, and if you can know what the target files should contain beforehand.
Honestly, in 20 years of using Macs, I have never had to worry about viruses
Had to? No. Should have, especially when extracting unknown files with a weird structure? Absolutely. BSD malware very much exists, which means Mac malware exists. You may have not felt the need to worry, but you very much should have been careful.
