One of the most concerning parts of the malware is its ability to execute remote AppleScript commands.

Do they really execute remotely? I think these commands are still executing locally.

What I would like help with is mapping just a couple user folders to external hard drive in the core OS. I just dont have the unix mojo. For instance I would like ~/Desktop and ~/Documents and ~/Lib to remain on the internal drive but say have /Movies /Music /Pictures/ etc all mapped to external. Not just Music app, Movies app location by specifying in "option" launch. I know how to change the home directory in the Users & Groups pref but breaking up specific home folder locations are beyond me. This would allow me to survive and keep the speed without paying the scalper prices for their storage upgrades.

Notably, the malicious scripts were written backward to evade detection.

Just use Ctrl + Cmd + Q to put a Mac to sleep.

Na, it’s Option-Command-Media Eject key
See https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh10330/mac

On keyboards that still have an Eject key, pressing Control-Eject displays the dialog box that allows Restart, Sleep, or Shut Down, like the old soft power key used to.  I hope Apple never removes it from the OS.

Pressing R restarts, S sleeps, and Return shuts down.  Full range of options three keystrokes away.

I used to religiously shut down the computer at the end of each day, but with the better power management on post-PPC Macs, rarely ever shut down the Mac now, or need to use the power button to recover from a freeze or crash.
