Does the Mac have any ability to warn when someone attempts to install malicious software, other than the usual warnings about unsigned software? Windows 10, for example, will scan every attachment before opening it, catching a lot of stuff before it can do any harm.

Well, it didn't really stop it. It slowed it for a little bit, and then it was modified and spread again.
I also wonder if now ransomware developers will leave red-herrings in the code where if the wrong domain is registered, it will do something more destructive.
It's like knowing which wire to cut when you're defusing a bomb!
