๐Ÿšจ Fake Cyber Onion Ad: Hackers hate this one weird trick.

In what some are calling the most anticipated event since a celebrity flea market, Apple has released its first round of Background Security Improvements, finally patching a pesky WebKit vulnerability. This issue was so old it practically had its own MySpace account.

The flaw, for those who aren’t cybersecurity sommeliers, involved a nefarious cross-origin issue in WebKit’s Navigation API, threatening to break down the Internetโ€™s equivalent of a ‘No Trespassing’ signโ€”the same-origin policy. A crafty hacker couldโ€™ve wandered across your digital backyard like a nosy neighbor, peeking through your browser windows at will.

Given that this vulnerability is so notorious it didn’t even get a CVSS score, some imagined it mustโ€™ve been a sly inside joke among hackers: “How many Apple engineers does it take to fix a non-rated bug?” Apparently, the answer is “just enough to leave secure environments but not enough to prevent your smart toaster from joining the rebellion.”
