Time to Patch: Apple Releases Fix for Zero-Day Attack Targeting Macs, iPhones


The zero-day exploit was used to attack Intel-based Macs, but it can also affect iOS and iPadOS.

Apple has released an emergency patch to fix two vulnerabilities that hackers have exploited to target Intel-based Mac computers. Details are thin, but both bugs involve a Mac, iPhone, or iPad processing "maliciously crafted web content" to trigger the operating system to execute rogue computer code. Apple's advisory suggests hackers used both flaws together to target older Intel-based Macs, which the company started transitioning away from in 2020 in favor of using its own Arm-based M chips.
