🍏 Apple Chip's Unfixable Security Flaw, Stability AI Launches Image Services, UN Adopts First Global AI Resolution
Today’s pick
Unpatchable vulnerability in Apple chip leaks secret encryption keys. A newly discovered vulnerability baked into Apple's M-series of chips allows attackers to extract secret keys from Macs when they perform widely used cryptographic operations, academic researchers have revealed in a paper published Thursday. The flaw—a side channel allowing end-to-end key extractions when Apple chips run implementations of widely used cryptographic protocols—can’t be patched directly because it stems from the microarchitectural design of the silicon itself.
