This is rather crappy QA or the lack of verification of the QA process at Apple. I really hope they pick up the slack they have been forming over the past ~5 years, it's starting to get predictably bad.
There are so many security holes in the latest MacOS release, I’m wondering if it’s currently the least secure desktop OS.<p>Vulnerabilities are one thing but these issues are simple enough for non-technical end users to exploit on anyone’s computers.
This is just embarrassing. It's not like Apple is spread so thin because of poor sales or a corporate shake up. There's really no excuse for all of these core bugs.
Before we just jump on Apple we should probably see if we can recreate the issue.<p>The article stated that another user could not replicate this issue and the original researcher was also unable to replicate after a possible stealth update.
There are definitely some issues with files ending up with contents of other files, particularly with sparse files and nearly full disks, presumably due to new allocations not being zeroed. Hard to replicate, but not impossible. We filed a bug and it was closed as a duplicate. Possibly fixed in todays 10.3.4 release, can't confirm yet.
So, is the iPhone full of these as well?<p>Has anyone did a public audit of the leaked secure enclave firmware? I know there's that company who sells the black haxx0r boxes for $15k or $30k.<p>Long question short: do we have a secure cell we can buy/make?
Good illustration of why command line utilities should not take passwords as a parameter. They should always be provided as prompted input or via a pipe if it needs to be scripted.
I was planning to ditch my android for iPhone but reports like this make me worried.<p>Can we have a reasonable discussion without fanboy ism about what is the most secure phone right now?<p>(reply only if you have a security background)
