Hi, this is my first post in this forum and it is related to security on MacOS.
In MacOS, how well user account are separated ? Is it commun for MacOS malware to be able to read data or install malicious software on an other user account on the same computer ?
I am wondering if creating a dedicated user account for sensitive stuff, like online banking or offline-password management, would provide any real advantage. Softwares and browsers extensions installed in this user account would be limited to the minimum.
My question arose after the new Big Sur feature allowing fast user switching.
Thank you very much for your highlights.
