Re: Security risk: EA Background Service runs as root on Mac

@mightyspritesims Just seen this — thank you so much for drawing it to our attention. I’m pretty worried about this. All these years I’ve been a Mac user I’ve never had the slightest issue with viruses or malware, and never needed to use anti-virus software or anything, because Mac systems are so robust and well protected. And now that looks like it’s in jeopardy.

EA, please fix this. Otherwise I’m going to have to stop playing my game. The risk is too great.
