I bought an iMac in February 2021. The machine is a desk top with the T2 chip. I took a close look at the RECOVERY screen after upgrading to Big Sur. Every thing was Plain Jane when looking at the volumes in expanded view. I looked especially for grey areas on all volumes, looking for unexplained volumes, any indication of a pre-boot etc. NONE WERE FOUND!!!

I buttoned up my machine with encryption. Shut down all sharing, went to stealth mode, firewall on... I think I may have forgotten to look at Full Disk access to see if sushi-keygen-wrapper was there.

I then downloaded and installed TOR for the iMac, I immediately went back to RECOVERY and notice my machine now has additional volumes. Why? Why is there now a pre-boot? Why are there now grey areas on the volumes where there were none before? Is this a government hack? Is the machine vulnerable?
