Hey guys, I recently got myself an M4 MacBook and was curious how risky it is to download pirated software, besides downloading the pirated software from a reputable source, do I need to be worried all the time? whats the worst that can happen? Do I need to avoid installing them at all cost on this system or usually when downloading pirated software most likely they are fine and there are no miners built in?

also when I tell the system to run the pirated software against its advice, does it stop protecting me from the software and "trusts" the user? or does the system keep looking for malware after installation too?

thank you very much!

Merry Xmas
