By doing so, the hacker was able to install a malicious software program that gave them access to the fund's email system which they used to send off fake invoices [to the fund’s trustees and administrator for the amount of approximately AUD 8 700 000, of which AUD 88 000 was paid.]
Edit: Note that there was a lapse of diligence on the payer’s side as well.
It should be easy to track the criminal.

So, despite me not liking them, Apple would be safer because no one probably bothered to write the backdoor for Macs (maybe that's a market, since rich "hedge fund" folks would prefer bling computers?), and their nanny software would probably have said "No, you can't install this!".
Alternatively the hacker could've written a browser extension, I doubt those have adequate protection...
So would everyone else if Apple shared their blacklists, or we had collaborative and open lists.
Using this as a reason to recommend taking the corporate OS route is deceiving, as it doesn't address the underlying roots of why antivirus is needed in the first place (systemic Capitalist exploitation, and the Elites privatizing and owning the means of production).
