Microsoft’s “Sploitlight” on Apple: A Diversion from Its Own Bug Blunders?
Microsoft spotted a macOS vulnerability, dubbed Sploitlight, allowing attackers to steal private data through a TCC bypass. Apple patched it in March. While the spotlight’s on Apple’s flaws, Microsoft’s own recent patch failures leave them with one foot in the digital doghouse. Redmond’s timing? Curious, to say the least!
Hot Take:
Microsoft and Apple: the only thing they exploit better than each other’s bugs is each other’s public image. While Apple was busy patching up its “Sploitlight” vulnerability, Microsoft was busy playing the blame game, probably hoping no one would notice their own SharePoint snafu. It’s a classic case of “don’t look at me, look at them!” in the world of high-stakes tech drama.
Key Points:
- Microsoft discovers a macOS vulnerability dubbed “Sploitlight” impacting sensitive data.
- Apple fixed the flaw in March, but the public is just now catching up to its potential dangers.
- The flaw could lead to severe real-world consequences like stalking and data theft.
- Microsoft’s report comes amid its own unresolved security blunders with SharePoint.
- Microsoft’s timing seems like a classic case of “look over there” distraction.
