The "zero day" is something they call a "ClickFix Attack"
Upon Googling "ClickFix":
> "A ClickFix attack is a social engineering technique... It typically compromises devices by manipulating victims into copying and pasting malicious commands directly into system-level tools"
I'm sorry, that's not a zero-day, that's idiocy that's as old as time.
We filed a bug report but the original maintainer seems to have dropped offline. The community's had some success in correcting bugs with low-level hacking, but it's hard to make progress without the source code.
"Normies" aka the average user on Meta. They have no concept of what "admin privileges" means and don't really care. I still have a hard time convincing my clients to use secure passwords. I have clients who were phished for substantial amounts of money and STILL don't implement proper security measures.
No, most workers don't really say this in surveys and polling. They tend to hate LLM tools because it makes their jobs worse, nothing about being left behind.
The only people pushing the "left behind" narrative is SV + SF + VC since their previous narratives have failed to persuade the public (thank fuck).
And before this gets flagged or downvoted or "he was young" or "he was joking" or "he was making a point: he was saying 'I could be anyone', not that he can't be trusted" answer me what other tech people say this, ever, along with all the other charges ("I'm going to fuck them [the Winklevoss twins] in the ear", "You can be unethical and legal and that's how i live my life haha", hacking Crimson reporters, and that's just at Harvard, let alone when Facebook became available to the public
Honestly, a lot of people start using this line of humor when their peers do. Add in that he was young, and this was before people’s private messages being released easily to the masses was common, Im not really surprised.
It is clear some of you are brigading. And I don't care if my comment 'breaks site rules'. It happens a lot here. I know you're from industry and you're brigading to protect your industry
> macOS has long provided a simple means for apps to handle dictation and transcription in processes that stay securely on the device
Not sure these guys realize that the quality and latency of those Apple services in MacOS is way lower than SOTA and not too many people use them because of that…
I'm confused what the vulnerability is. Does macOS have some specific function for protecting key material, that it's unexpected that if you execute user-privileged code locally, outside of a sandbox, it gets full read access?
Yeah macOS security is capability based rather than purely identity based. So if you don't pass the required entitlements to an application then it cannot do stuff like read from the system keychain even if its running as your user.
I love that when you open a web inspection console on facebook, it says "Stop!
This is a browser feature intended for developers. If someone told you to copy-paste something here to enable a Facebook feature or "hack" someone's account, it's a scam and will give them access to your Facebook account.
See https://www.facebook.com/selfxss for more information."
A zero day generally means a vulnerability and associated exploit have been identified and the vendor didn’t yet provide a patch. It doesn’t just mean “there is a vulnerability”. To say that every software has vulnerabilities is just not a useful comment
