EDIT: SOLVED

It’s been too long since I pirated anything other than media. I am on an M2 Mac running Sequoia. Be kind!

    Looks like a lot of viruses Trojans IMO. If they bury the files in a lot of zipped folders I think they’re trying to avoid antivirus detection. Send files to virus total

      I second this. Scan everything before unzipping, and if you can know what the target files should contain beforehand.

          Had to? No. Should have, especially when extracting unknown files with a weird structure? Absolutely. BSD malware very much exists, which means Mac malware exists. You may have not felt the need to worry, but you very much should have been careful.
