WARNING A german Security Site has discovered a vulnerability in the DNS structure on Safari and Chrome browsers on Apple OS X, iOS, and also Chrome on Android. Google has patched Chrome so download a new version. Apple has yet to fix the vulnerability. The proof-of-concept is extremely simple… it uses JavaScript to load up a website (dailymail), every 10 micro-seconds, which is not enough time for the website to begin loading. So it’s displaying that website address, but hasn’t actually loaded it yet. Meanwhile, it’s on a different website, which could have active malware.

As a quick fix, go to Safari Menu, Preferences, Security, uncheck Webcontent: Enable JavaScript. Problem Solved! However, you may not be able to use some sites which require JavaScript to operate. — PING!


Apple Security Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Still working on the Freepathon. . . I challenge the members of the Apple ping list to each donate at least $10 each to the latest Freepathon. I HAVE donated $100. Many members of the Apple Ping list are already rising to the challenge. Join them. Let's show the power of the Apple Ping list in supporting Freerepublic!

If you have ordered an Apple Watch,
