- MacUpdate's defense is that their paying customers can opt out of the augmented installers. But - in my case, I went to gift an app via MacUpdate. Normally this is ideal when you want to gift someone an app and they are in a different geographical region, since Apple doesn't have a mechanism for doing this inside their own ecosystem.

Macupdate Malware
On February 1, 2018, we investigated suspicious download links for Firefox, Onyx, andDeeper. We have since performed a rigorous investigation of multiple files to track and remove any other affected URLs. We discovered several links which downloaded files containing a new malware threat, specifically a Bitcoin mining framework. If you believe that you may have downloaded one of these files during the brief period when the links were available on MacUpdate then we strongly encourage you to take the following steps to detect and remove any unwanted files that may be present on your Mac as a result of these downloads.
