Ask HN: Has anyone reconsidered Antivirus software after recent security news?
Like most of you, I don't use antivirus software and haven't for years. Modern Macs (and PCs) are pretty secure by default.
However, with the rise of AI-assisted exploits/phishing and supply chain attacks, I've been reconsidering. We recently had an incident at work where CrowdStrike caught a RAT that a developer was inadvertently installing on their work computer.
1. Would consumer antivirus / EDR software even be good enough to block things like the Axios compromise?
