Apple says Mac users targeted in zero-day cyberattacks


Apple said the security update for Macs, iPhones, and iPads is "recommended for all users."

In a security advisory on its website, Apple said it was aware of two vulnerabilities that “may have been actively exploited on Intel-based Mac systems.” The bugs are considered “zero day” vulnerabilities because they were unknown to Apple at the time they were exploited. To fix the bugs, Apple released a software update for macOS, as well as fixes for iPhones and iPads, including users running the older iOS 17 software. The security advisory says the bugs can be exploited by tricking vulnerable Apple devices into processing maliciously crafted web content, such as a website or email, to trigger arbitrary code execution, which can allow the planting of malware on a target’s device.
