Apple has released critical security updates addressing two zero-day vulnerabilities affecting Mac computers, particularly those with Intel processors. These vulnerabilities have been exploited by cybercriminals, emphasizing the importance of keeping devices updated.
Despite a lower market share compared to Windows, the increasing popularity of Apple products has led to a rise in targeted malware threats. The recent updates also extend to iPhones and iPads running iOS 17.
The vulnerabilities are linked to WebKit and JavaScriptCore, the engines powering the Safari browser, which are commonly targeted by hackers to access personal data. Apple encourages users to avoid untrustworthy websites and to only download files from secure sources.
