Title: [2016-01-16] Ongoing OS X Gatekeeper Vulnerability Puts Bitcoin Users At Risk
Post by: jdebunt on January 16, 2016, 08:39:21 AM
Computer users operating on the Mac OS X platform are safer from harm compared to their Windows-using counterparts. With a much smaller market share, hackers are not targeting OS X users as often as they could, although that doesn’t mean the platform is completely secure. Security tool Gatekeeper is still vulnerable, despite a recent patch released by Apple. Bitcoin users are advised to remain careful when installing new applications until this security flaw has been patched properly.
