  • Remote macOS exploit using custom URL schemes demonstrated by security researcher

    Technically, macOS is doing everything correctly, but it is a series of innocuous actions that can allow a piece of malware to be installed unbeknownst to the user. Apple could elect to make some changes to the process in future updates, such as automatically preventing files from unzipping by default.
    But by all means, let’s make a back door to the encryption. It won’t weaken anything at all. What could possibly go wrong.

  • Apple demands specially-certified chips & factories for HomeKit devices, report says

    It's all about security. If you want your home hacked (locks, garage doors, routers, thermostats, etc)  then buy anything out there. Apple is trying to establish a model that at least lessens the chance of security breach - yes they make money doing it, but they also provide quality assurance and peace of mind to the customer. I do not see a correlation between a large factory that makes Star Wars toys and a factory having a proven capability of producing secure IOT chips and devices for home automation.
    Exactly this!
