In today’s episode, we discuss Apple’s new “inactivity reboot” feature in iOS 18.1 that enhances security by automatically restarting iPhones after periods of idleness, making it more difficult for law enforcement and cybercriminals to access encrypted data. We also cover the emergence of GoIssue, a sophisticated phishing tool targeting GitHub developers, and North Korean hackers using trojanized Flutter apps to bypass macOS security measures. Lastly, we review the FBI and CISA’s advisory revealing the most exploited vulnerabilities of 2023, highlighting crucial security concerns for organizations.
