I will disagree on the "how do I disinfect myself" part - the only way to recover from this is to nuke the machine and consider all data it held compromised. If this malware found its way onto your machine there's a good chance other, much nastier malware could've done so as well, not to mention this malware having functions for running arbitrary AppleScript & shell commands and so can fully compromise your machine.

> Q: How do I disinfect myself? > A: Often malware can install other malware, or allow an remote attacker to do what ever they want. Thus if you were/are infected it's suggested you fully re-install macOS. However, you can probably get away with simply resetting the DNS servers and deleting the malicious certifcate. So you pretty much agree with most of what he said (in a very succinct fashion), except his advice is based on research and yours seems to be based solely on dogma?
