Another day, another lawsuit. Apple is facing a class action lawsuit for “fraud” over its iCloud Private Relay glitch, reports 9to5Mac.
macOS has security measures to prevent malware getting installed on Macs, but last month it was reported that researchers say they have found a way around this.
Researchers Talal Haj Bakry and Tommy Mysk said in a blog post that they reported their findings, but Apple is unconcerned. Apple has good reason, but it is still a potential weakness that the researchers believe could and should be fixed.
“A vulnerability in macOS allows an attacker to silently replace the main executable of any application downloaded from the web without requiring elevated privileges,” Bakry and Myst said. “As a result, trusted applications can be made to execute attacker-controlled code without triggering security warnings when relaunched.”
The class action lawsuit accusing Apple of false advertising, misrepresentation, and fraud has now been filed by Clarkson Law Firm, the same lawyers who previously obtained a $250M settlement over the delayed launch of Siri AI, notes 9to5Mac.
