Or even "someone who has the credentials Apple owns" does it. I presume they require more than one employee to be able to do that, but that only mitigates insider threat, it doesn't remove it. They could also potentially be fooled into doing some damage.
Trust should never be evaluated on whether you think people are trustworthy; bad actors can impersonate, coerce or confuse good actors.
- vaxman 6y agoThe idiot you are replying to has no clue how apps work on the Mac --remotely killing a bundle identifier is not sufficient to stop a piece of malware. to cleanup a mess, they at least have to run a script that makes all kinds of changes, including to launchd, etc. to me that is a remote login --but someone using the F word can argue semantics and get me downvoted and flagged and whatever (as if I give a damn lol --I have 40 years of experience and 30 of it is programming Macs)
