A 'Permanent' Vulnerability Found in Apple Devices

US technology giant Applehas introduced major technologies in recent years to ensure the security of the devices it offers to its users. One of the company's technologies is It was the Secure Enclave Processor. This processor protected sensitive data on the devices by encrypting it.

Last month, hackers claimed that they found a vulnerability in Apple's processor. Moreover, it is claimed that this vulnerability is in the Secure Enclave processor. was permanently open. So Apple would never be able to close this gap. If this claim of the hackers is true, it means that the data of users of iPhone, iPad, Mac and other devices has been compromised.

What does this vulnerability mean?

Chinese team developing jailbreak tools for iOS operating system To Pangu Team According to this permanent vulnerability in Apple's Secure Enclave Processor, cracking the passwords of private security keys can provide. So why is this deficit described as permanent and said to never be fixed?

The only reason why the vulnerability in the Secure Enclave Processor is considered permanent is not on the software side of the vulnerability. on the hardware side having been detected. Since Apple cannot change the hardware of purchased products later, this vulnerability is present in most Apple devices currently on the market.

There is currently no detailed information about what hackers can do by using this vulnerability. However, access to the Security Enclave is also granted by users. passwords, their credit cards and much more sensitive data. It means access permission.

However, at this point it would be beneficial to relax a little. In such hardware vulnerabilities, hackers usually hack the device to get data from the device. have to physically access They stay. This means that your device cannot be taken into the hands of a hacker unless you allow it. Therefore, it is useful to be a little careful about who you give your Apple device to.

Another thing known about the vulnerability is that this vulnerability Carrying A7 and A11 Bionic processors Available on Apple devices. Although Apple has closed this gap in its next Bionic processors, there are millions of devices using A11 and older processors today. We will only be able to understand whether this vulnerability causes any harm to users in the coming months.
