Malware detection warning on macos

When starting WhaleEtcher on MacOS sequoia 15.1, the app is automatically deleted from the system and I receive the warning ‘malware blocked’. Is this a false positive or is there really malware in the latest version of balenaetcher for macOS?

Hi, we’re aware that this has started appearing. Please see the following issue pinned on our github: Can't open etcher on latest MacOS · Issue #4349 · balena-io/etcher · GitHub. To summarize:

The Macos messaging is unfortunate as it’s not malware, but a certificate revocation.

As noted in the original message of the issue, the solution is to download the latest version available on GitHub (and https://etcher.balena.io) as it is signed with a new certificate that should work fine.
