Apple TV has added Anthony Boyle to co-star in the upcoming mini-series Masters of the Air, a sequel to HBO s award-winning Band of Brothers.
Boyle will reportedly play the lead role of Major Crosby. The actor previously appeared in HBO s Plot Against America, the biopic Tolkien, and the Apple TV+ series Tetris.
Based on Donald L. Miller s nonfiction title Masters of the Air: America s Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany , the limited-run series will follow the true story of the young men who flew the bombers that helped bring Nazi Germany to its knees.
The upcoming series will also star Austin Butler and Callum Turner. Butler, who recently appeared in Quentin Tarantino s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, will play Major Gale Cleven. Turner, who starred in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, will fill the role of Major John Egan.
Malware developers ramped up the creation of malicious software targeting the Mac in 2020 compared to previous years, new data suggests.
Security researchers at AV-TEST GmbH logged 674,273 new samples of macOS malware in 2020, according to an AtlasVPN investigation. The researchers found 56,556 samples in 2019 and 92,570 in 2018.
Although the data only proves that more unique malware samples were identified, it does suggest that malware authors are continuing to turn their attention toward the Mac. Between 2019 and 2020, malware sample identification surged 1,092%.
The 674,273 samples detected in 2020 far eclipse the total 219,257 samples detected by AV-TEST GmbH between 2012 and 2019.
Of course, although the Mac malware threat is growing, it s still comparatively small. AV-TEST GmbH suggests that 91.05 million samples of Windows malware were detected in 2020, a record high and an increase from 89.07 million in 2019.
