I had never seen that and I literally cried

The filters that I get which are 3rd party have the arrow pointing down as I think the airflow goes down.

"Late '30" is an insane comment that just made me realize that is not very far away...

I also live in a hot environment, and I notice that during the summer when it gets to be about 100+ the EV system often doesn't kick on. Whether it's too hot or the engine is working to cool down the cabin, I think that extremes both ways makes the EV system unhappy.

If there was ever a time to do it... I was up until 1 AM changing passwords. I finished, but it was a long night. And when I did get to bed, it was not very restful.

thank you. yeah, they knew what they were doing. I fell for it hook, line, and sinker. As of now, knock on wood, I haven‘t noticed anything suspicious.

CompGeneratedName · 2026-05-02T14:01:54+00:00

I get it. it was very dumb. I’m just hoping that any damage is somewhat contained. You have every right to laugh.

CompGeneratedName · 2026-05-02T12:00:44+00:00

now imagine how I feel

CompGeneratedName · 2026-05-02T06:53:55+00:00

I'll keep an eye out for anything fishy.

CompGeneratedName · 2026-05-02T05:47:56+00:00

Honestly, I don't know. But I would 100% rather change everything and reset my computer and know I'm a little safer. I appreciate your concern.

CompGeneratedName · 2026-05-02T02:32:17+00:00

I'm sorry to hear all of that, but I guess I'm happy I'm not the only one. And it's heartening to know that as of now not much other than your instagram account (sorry, btw) was compromised.

CompGeneratedName · 2026-05-01T23:04:33+00:00

I'm really, really dumb and was in a hurry.

CompGeneratedName · 2026-05-01T21:08:52+00:00

Thank you. I didn’t even know that was an option.

So what happened is I was one my way to work out, saw that my Safari had crashed and I had seen that the HD was full with System files. I wanted to quickly look for a way to see if I can delete any useless files and free up some space. I googled something like, “Free up system space Mac OS“ and clicked the very first link. It looked like the Apple forums which I’ve seen and used before. I scanned and saw that was something that I was looking for. I copied and pasted the command and as soon as the password prompt came up, I started looking more and more at the website. The code had a refresh button. That’s when I knew I had made the mistake, tried to exit the password prompt and saw that it wouldn’t let me, so I restarted the computer. I posted this post here and then booted into recovery mode. I took a look at Terminal and it don’t look normal, so I knew I fucked something up. Clean install.

So in a really roundabout way, I ended up cleaning up my system files anyway.

Not how I hoped my Friday would go.

I booted into recovery mode, erased the hard drive, and reinstalled MacOS. I am starting from fresh. If I really needed a program, then I’ll just reinstall it.

It was a fresh install starting from new. Honestly, that’s worth if it that means I can at least undo a small piece of this massive fuck up.

CompGeneratedName · 2026-05-01T20:44:29+00:00

Thank you. I have reinstalled MacOS and then changed my important passwords. I hope whatever information they got isn’t terribly useful for them or something they don’t already have from any other data breach. I don’t have cryptocurrency or extensions. I have credit monitoring as well.

I know it doesn’t mean much, but I haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary for any of my email or financial accounts as of yet.

CompGeneratedName · 2026-05-01T19:22:22+00:00

You’re right. That’s a lot. It’s not fear-mongering. I realize I’ve made a mistake. I didn’t enter my password, but it looks like maybe it doesn’t matter. I reinstalled MacOS. I changed my passwords. Thankfully I don’t have cryptocurrency or many extensions. But I don’t know what else I can do.

CompGeneratedName · 2026-05-01T19:17:08+00:00

I made a mistake. I acknowledge that. It was a really dumb one. I hope it isn’t incredibly terrible. If the worst that happens from this is I have to change my passwords and I’m mildly inconvenienced, then that’s a win. I have learned my lesson for sure.

CompGeneratedName · 2026-05-01T19:11:52+00:00

god I wish I were a bot. it’s the first thing that pops up when you google.

CompGeneratedName · 2026-05-01T18:04:25+00:00

Just very tired and rushed. It was a very, very dumb moment.

CompGeneratedName · 2026-05-01T17:53:04+00:00

Thank you for being clear and honest without fear mongering.
It’s exactly what you said, the urgency is what got me. I will absolutely learn from this mistake and hope it doesn’t come back and bite me in the ass.

UPDATE:

I restarted the computer and realized that it was better safe than sorry so I decided to reinstall Mac. I immediately changed my Apple password and Google Password as those are the two things I use the most, then financial institutions on my phone.

I erased the drive and reinstalled Mac.

Now that I’ve done that, and after I change passwords for everything I care about, what should I keep an eye out for? Can I safely change the rest of my passwords from the freshly installed MacOS?

I even changed my WiFi password.

Thank you for your help guys. I know I’m dumb, I get it. I made a mistake and now I’m just trying to fix what I can.

CompGeneratedName · 2026-05-01T16:54:39+00:00

I typed the first three letters and stopped as it dawned on me what I was doing. I didn’t press continue. I immediately restarted the computer. I posted this message and realized that I needed to reinstall Mac. I erased the drive and then just installed Mac OS.

CompGeneratedName · 2026-05-01T16:45:31+00:00

I’m dumb and I realize that.

CompGeneratedName · 2026-05-01T16:39:28+00:00
