Information security experts warn that there are technical vulnerabilities in some of the processors Apple uses in its computers.
According to available information, “Experts from CSAIL Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Labs at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have succeeded in developing a technology called PACMAN, which enables the implementation of electronic attack mechanisms in by exploiting a software vulnerability found on some Apple computers. runs M1 processors. ”
ويشير الخبراء إلى “أن تنفيذ الهجمات الإلكترونية على الحواسب عبر التقنية المذكورة يمكن أن يتم عن بعد، وبالتالي الوصول إلى نواة أنظمة التشغيل في تلك الأجهزة، ومن المحتمل ان توجد مثل هذه الثغرات الأمنية في المعالجات التي تنتجها شركتا Qualcomm وسامسونغ أيضا، لكن الأمر غير معروف Next”.
According to experts, the technical aspect of the attack depends on the beacon authentication function and uses Beacon Authentication Codes in it.
“The vulnerability does not pose a direct threat to users and is not enough on its own to bypass operating system protection,” said Apple spokesman Scott Radcliffe.
