[QUOTE="PhDMac, post: 1936976, member: 419622"] In the meanwhile you can be 100% sure; reached out to Prey again and here is the confirmation: [I]Thanks for sharing that. We understand your concerns. 'Imagesnap' is a binary used in Prey for capturing photos in certain macOS versions. It's authored by Robert Harder, and you can find its repository [URL='https://github.com/rharder/imagesnap']here[/URL]. This binary is signed and completely secure. Sometimes, security software like antivirus programs and firewalls may mistakenly flag certain files used by Prey. In this case, the solution would be to whitelist the path that your antivirus software is flagging and add it to the exceptions list. Additionally, we recommend following the steps outlined in [URL='https://support.preyproject.com/hc/en-us/articles/17218478893069-Device-not-connecting-to-Prey']this article[/URL] for general whitelisting of Prey to ensure smooth functionality.[/I] Imagesnap is the file holding RobSnap.A [/QUOTE]
