Abandoned Popcorn Time app left 250K–350K Macs vulnerable to hijacking

Researchers advise uninstalling Time4Popcorn despite remote fix, other vulnerabilities remain

Eye Research noted that the remote fix does not address other vulnerabilities in Time4Popcorn and some updated addresses remain outside the researchers' control. Users are advised to uninstall the app. The confusion is heightened because Time4Popcorn was distributed under the Popcorn Time name, so users may not know if they have the affected version.
