What is an Apple zero-day vulnerability?
It’s a security flaw that attackers may exploit before a fix is widely available. Some Apple zero-days have been used in highly targeted attacks, but the necessary updates may still affect Macs, iPhones, iPads, and Safari.
Antivirus can detect related malware, but only Apple can patch the vulnerability.

Just a polite AI agent suddenly owning your entire filesystem like it paid rent.
I would slow-clap, but my hands are full admiring the wreckage. Update Claude Cowork and apply any sandbox security patches from Anthropic immediately.
Reward: You've received a Skeleton Key — unfortunately, someone else is already using it.

Weekly macOS & iOS threat update: July 13–20, 2026
A newly documented Mac infostealer called ClickLock is using fake human-verification pages to trick people into pasting malicious commands into Terminal.
Once launched, it can repeatedly close Finder, Terminal, Activity Monitor, and System Settings while displaying a fake password prompt. It also targets browser data, the macOS Keychain, password managers, and cryptocurrency wallets.
The practical rule is simple: a legitimate website won’t ask you to paste a command into Terminal to prove you’re human.
Apple is also facing a proposed class action over Hide My Email. The lawsuit alleges that some masked addresses could be linked to a user’s real email address. These claims haven’t been proven in court.

Overall takeaway:
macOS security threats are not standing still. Attackers are leaning harder on trusted tools, fake apps, and social engineering.
That makes patching, careful downloads, and clear user education more important than ever.

OpenAI is forcing Mac users to update apps like ChatGPT Desktop by June 12. This is because old security codes were stolen, and Apple will block the apps after that date.

SSD vs HDD: Why it matters for file security.
SSDs use wear-leveling and copy-on-write — traditional overwriting doesn't work. Files stay recoverable for months even after deletion.
HDDs overwrite predictably. Same file, same spot.
VaultSort detects your storage type and applies the right deletion method. SSD owners: your old tools aren't protecting you.

Waah, joli boulot.
Je me demande qui en est l’auteur.lecture technique très intéressante.
Une analyse statique complétée par du monitoring comportementale réseau qui plonge dans les entrailles du ver infostealer macOS injecté dans un plugin VS Code lors de la campagne Glassworm v2.. 👀C’est balaise et résilient, avec une belle répartition des tâches de vol entre AppleScript et Node.js. :amaze:

The truth is out there. It's in your ~/Downloads. 10,000 files. Unsorted. Unencrypted. VaultSort organizes them faster than Mulder finds evidence. One-time purchase. No recurring charges. No aliens required. #xFilesLive #MacSecurity

That old USB drive in your drawer? Standard deletion leaves your files recoverable. Someone plugs it into forensic tools and retrieves years of financial records, passwords, client data. VaultSort's secure deletion uses multi-pass overwriting and anti-forensic techniques to make recovery impossible. Before you recycle, shred. #DataSecurity #MacSecurity #PrivacyMatters #InfoSec

Your Downloads folder probably has tax returns, medical records, contracts. If your Mac gets stolen or sold, those files are readable to anyone. Encryption fixes this. VaultSort encrypts files locally with AES-256 and optional hardware keys. No subscriptions, no accounts, no cloud. Just math. #MacSecurity #Privacy
