Aikido incident
Persistent permission popups generated by Aikido Device Protection
Ongoing since 09:53 AM UTC, affecting Current status by service (Device Protection).
Today, for Aikido Device users, a new anti-malware feature was accidentally enabled before the anticipated release date. This will be a opt-in feature in the future to detect malicious behavior and will require some extra permissions. The impact of this issue was limited to macOS popups appearing to ask for permissions. The popups re-appeared every few minutes, and we have rolled out a fix for this.
