Android, iOS, and macOS issues
Pierluigi Paganani: Hackers can compromise your WhatsApp account by tricking you into answering a video call
The Register: Rap for WhatsApp chat app chaps in phone-to-pwn security nap flap – “Memory corruption flaw present in Android, iOS builds. Aaand it’s been fixed”
Further to this story: Intel Management Mode – Apple didn’t lock
Thomas Claburn for The Register: Intel’s commitment to making its stuff secure is called into question – ‘In an email to The Register in response to our report about the problems posed by the Manufacturing Mode in Intel’s Management Engine (ME), which if left open leaves processors vulnerable to local attack, Kanthak called Intel’s statement “a blatant lie.”‘
The Register: Pixel 3, 3XL, Slate tab launch: Google emits swanky iPad botherer while tarting up mobes – “The day after Google confessed to almost exposing the private data of hundreds of thousands of Google+ accounts to app developers, the ad giant unveiled perhaps the most-leaked phone in recent memory.”
