Ask HN: My Mac decided out of the blue to delete Node. Why?

1 pointsJSLegendDev1mo ago2 comments

Something strange happened to me today. Out of the blue, my Mac decided to remove Node citing potential malware.

The strange thing, I had Node installed for around a year on this machine and I didn't upgrade it recently.

Anyone with a similar experience?

My machine is a Macbook Air M3.

What specifically cited malware? Is your laptop managed by a company? Is it using jamf?

Check if your machine has been compromised by malware. This doesn't sound normal
