Six researchers found dozens of vulnerabilities in Apple's infrastructure over a three-month period that allowed them to access, among other things, source code, users 'iCloud accounts, internal applications, employee sessions, and users' private data.

Of the total of 55 vulnerabilities reported by Sam Curry, Brett Buerhaus, Ben Sadeghipour, Samuel Erb and Tanner Barnes, 11 were identified as critical. These vulnerabilities allowed the researchers to execute arbitrary code on Apple systems, gain administrative access to an internal application, take over user accounts, steal Apple's Identity and Access Management (IAM) keys from Amazon Web Services, take over users' iCloud accounts, and access source code from Amazon Web Services.

So what’s your point? Every OS is bound to have a security vulnerability. You seem to have a gripe against Apple and always posting negative things about them.

Ouch for Apple. That is a whammy!

The Fappening V2 coming soon ... lol

 

[Wasabee!]

So what’s your point?

Apple market themselves as very secure...

Apple market themselves as very secure...

More secure than Android. Again, what’s your point? They have never claimed to be invulnerable.

No OS is 100% secure.

What irks me is that every negative thread about Apple is always started by blackstreetboy. As if he has something to prove to the world. He must just get over himself and go enjoy his android device.

A group of hackers has been awarded over $50,000 by Apple for discovering 55 vulnerabilities in the company's systems.

I hope it $50k per vulnerability.. and not $50k for 55...

Who knows, it does seem low. Although their bug bounty apparently goes up to $1 mill depending on the severity.

Haters gonna hate. Apple gonna continue ruling the world. They have no competition, only copiers.

This is not about an insecure OS. This is about multiple failures in multiple layers of protection of a public cloud service.

Google recently paid a guy $100k for a vulnerability found on their cloud platform, Microsoft also had cases in the past.

It's not really unique to Apple

 

[Looney]

This is not about an insecure OS. This is about multiple failures in multiple layers of protection of a public cloud service.

And again, what is your point. And again, Apple never claimed to be invulnerable. Not in their OS and not in the cloud. The mere fact that they have bounty programs to find vulnerabilities and patch them in itself is a step in the right direction.

The vulnerabilities have already been patched.

Again my main issue has absolutely nothing to do with Apple. My issue is every thread that has negative information about Apple is always started by Backstreetboy. He’s trying his utmost best to prove Apple are rubbish. It’s tiresome. He sounds like a bitter person.

Nothing just posting broadband and IT news that I find interesting and that hasn't been posted before... I also made a thread about giving Google the middle finger. Can't trust these overlords anymore.

Welcome to Digital, the new fools paradise, security is going to stay an issue and growing unless theres a cutoff between systems and the net as well as tight security clearances on sites. You cannot sit on a couch, and do everything especially your finances or important transactions and expect not to have consequences when you least can afford it. Digital on a grand scale is NOT the selution in the long run. You will have to move off the couch and do things physically then its in your hands as well.
