Patrick Wardle is known for being a Mac malware specialist \u2014 but his work has traveled farther than he realized.<\/p>\n

A former employee of the NSA and NASA, he is also the founder of the Objective-See Foundation<\/a>: a nonprofit that creates open-source security tools for macOS. The latter role means that a lot of Wardle\u2019s software code is now freely available to download and decompile \u2014 and some of this code has apparently caught the eye of technology companies that are using it without his permission.<\/p>\n
