Fake iCollections site for macOS offers DMG flagged as malware
A site hosted at icollections.github.io poses as the iCollections 9.7.2 page for macOS and delivers the file iCollections_9.7.2.dmg, flagged as a malware sample by MalwareHunterTeam. Downloading and running the installer can infect the Mac. Get the app only from the official source and distrust installers from unknown sites.
What happened
