Attackers could use a recently patched macOS vulnerability to bypass Transparency, Consent, and Control (TCC) security checks and steal sensitive user information, including Apple Intelligence cached data. TCC is a security technology and a privacy framework that blocks apps from accessing private user data by providing macOS control over how their data is accessed and […]
Apple Safari exposes users to fullscreen browser-in-the-middle attacks
A weakness in Apple’s Safari web browser allows threat actors to leverage the fullscreen browser-in-the-middle (BitM) technique to steal account credentials from unsuspecting users. By abusing the Fullscreen API, which instructs any content on a webpage to enter the browser’s fullscreen viewing mode, hackers can exploit the shortcoming to make guardrails less visible on Chromium-based browsers and […]
