Apple patches macOS flaw exploited by malware to secretly snap screenshots

Apple has patched a hole in macOS that has been exploited by malware to secretly take screenshots on victims' Macs.


The security flaw can also be potentially abused to access files and record video and audio from the computer. The iGiant has also released iOS and iPadOS 14.6, which fixes 43 CVE-listed security flaws and adding a bunch of user-friendly UI tweaks.


Alert for iPhone and iPad users


Three flaws, including one spotted by Google's Project Zero, fixed in iOS 14.6 and iPadOS 14.6 can be exploited by a malicious app to run code with kernel-level privileges, allowing malicious software to completely take over the device. The UK's National Cyber Security Centre also passed on a denial-of-service issue that could be triggered with a maliciously crafted message.
