I'm not even going to respond to this ridiculousness.

I still don't know why anyone thinks that, among all developers in the world, a little indie Mac developer is getting targeted specifically.

Some targets are more valuable than others. A firewall product has obvious security value. The fact that it requires high privilege is another reason.

I have the same thoughts about other Mac apps. e.g. iTerm2 - cause they "see" so much sensitive data.
