Transmission asked to use my microphone
Transmission asked to use my microphone
I use a program called Oversight to notify me of incoming requests to use my camera or microphone. I just received one of these messages saying Transmission was asking to use my mic, and I thought that was a little sketchy. Any one have any info on why this would happen? I'm using v2.92. Thanks.
Re: Transmission asked to use my microphone
Should not happen, Transmission has no use for the mic. What does the message look like? If it's a notification popup, those are relatively easy to spoof --- any program on your computer is able to show the notification that would appear as if it's shown by some other program.

I'd also suggest scanning your Mac with some antivirus, obviously...
