I was going through my MacBook Air and came across this document --

BCPrivateDatabase.bcck

Usually when I search for files/terms I get a bunch of hits but I can't find anything online about it. It shows that it was created only a few days ago. Is this a security concern? When I try to open it, I get the message:

There is no application set to open the document "BCPrivateDatabase.bcck"

Thank you!!

Where did you find this document? Depending on where you found it, we can surmise how it got there.

One possibility is that it's a backup of your private cloud database.

Welcome to the forum.

I think it's associated with the app Books, from Apple. And it's in a subfolder of ~/Library, your library file. Nothing to worry about.
