Have you accidentally enabled notifications for a website in your browser?
These are notifications from your browser. Go to the notification settings and disable all and any notifications from Safari that you don’t know what they are.
Your Mac is fine.
And then they say, “Enable sideloading for iPhones!!!1!!!1 PEoPle AreNT DuMB!!!”
I hope they do
IKR? the “i ThInK i’V’e bEeN haCkEd!!” posts in r/iPhone would be great entertainment.
At least put it in like Developer Options & that side loading is auto-off, then people will most likely not mess around with it
Honestly if they hid it in developer settings even most “tech savvy” consumers wouldn’t bother. Even when I was on android, I downloaded “cracked” apks only a handful of times. That was usually cause I had not debit or credit card to put on my account as a teen. Now it’s not even worth the time.
At least add the side loading in the Developer Options & that it is off by default. then people will most likely not mess around with it
Just a BS browser notification, gotta go in your browsers’ settings and remove or block any shady sites you’ve given permission to show notifications
go under safari setting remove the notification and then Block any future website that ask to allow notification just search its there, nothing good will come out from it just block everything
How do people get those “viruses” on Mac? I swear I have never seen one in real life.
The pop up? Sketchy websites for movies, anime, manga, books, etc.
Sooo usually the only reason you get these pop ups is when you visit certain adult sites lol.
or one of those piracy websites
Go into Safari or whatever browser you use, Command C (open preferences) and then find notifications and remove access from all the sketchy websites
I’ve never seen settings app with a red notification icon in the alerts before. Looks dodgy as heck.
At least you know what time it is.
It is time to replace Safari with a much more secure browser, such as Vivaldi or Brave.
op’s been on some special websites
Fellow New Hampshire resident spotted?
maybe try a specific site that checks your macbook for viruses. i think it’s very wise that you haven’t clicked on that yes
They are just browser pop ups. It happens when you press ok to enable notifications. Just turn them off lol it’s not a big deal
Just close all the tabs you have open in chrome/safari. These notifications come from sketchy websites, you probably enabled notifications on some random website. After closing all tabs, it will be ok
