> For a good number of years, I've been (foolishly, as it turns out) using the included Apache httpd to run small localhost-only stuff on my Mac laptop. In recent times, I found that every upgrade of the OS would revert my httpd.conf and it would need to be put back.

I did this too until very recently as well. Finally got around to just setting up a docker image serving data from ~/Sites. I think it was the switch to an unexpected php version which convinced me.

I've just taken a look through /etc/ for anything else I may have configured which got lost. Doesn't seem much I touched myself, but seeing lots of files like /etc/shells~orig and /etc/syslog.conf~previous which are odd.

Does anyone have an example in the wild of a news site that injects something in to the clipboard on copy?

I haven't seen it happen in a long time, but I've also blocked most of the offenders in my hosts file.

How would Apple feel if I sent them a trojan that disabled their ssh security config?

Would I be posting from jail?

Also, Apple has shipped 3 emergency OS updates (3GB each) in one month now. This is bad news.
