Welp, maybe I'll finally have to get around to installing some sort of anti-virus/malware software after 20 years of macOS and/or Linux. At least the system architecture isn't quite as much of a dumpster fire as Windows' is, but nothing is invulnerable when there's enough incentive

Naw. This is just FUD. I mean it’s coming from Accenture ffs.

Keep calm and keep computing.

I agree, Accenture is not a reliable source.
