Apple has pushed updates to XProtect and MRT

Apple has pushed two updates today, to the data files used by XProtect, bringing its version number to 2122, dated 28 May 2020, and to its malware removal tool MRT, bringing it to version 1.61, also dated 28 May 2020.

Apple doesn’t release information about what these updates add or change, and now obfuscates the identities of malware detected by XProtect using internal code names.
