If any of y’all are using Mac products with M1, M2 or M3 chips…
BIG DEAL.
Though, the risk factor does entail installing malicious software - so exercise extreme diligence & caution if/when installing anything.

No word on how long it’ll take Apple to work out a solution. Apparently they’ve known about it for a few months and have done little. Hopefully now that it’s hitting the news, that’ll light some fire under their asses to take it more seriously.
Oh gosh! Whats an M Chip snd if i have it xan steal my encrypted Keys? Damn!
It's time to join me in Afrika!

More per Dm's
they're Apple's processors, in most of the new macs released over the last 5 years.
stealing of keys would still require malware to be installed on the computer. so no huge vulnerabilities, as not that different than anything else - malware with a keylogger could steal passwords on any system, for example. but still reason to be a bit extra cautious if/when installing anything on a mac with M1, M2 or M3.
Cool

Yikes! I have an M2 mini at home, but I never use it for anything except as a media server for my PLEX streaming. It basically just sits in the basement untouched!
