Yet again, Apple didn't test its Windows software for longstanding common vulnerabilities
Yet again, as we've seen in spades in the past, Apple has never
sufficiently tested its own iOS/MacOS software, let alone Apple's horrid Windows software, even for the most obvious of vulnerability approaches! "Malware distributors are abusing a DLL hijacking vulnerability in Apple's Push Notification service Windows executable... "Attackers are using fraudulent software bundles that use DLL hijacking vulnerabilities in the Apple's APSDaemon.exe..." o *CoinMiner exploits Apple APSDaemon vulnerability to evade detection* https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/coinminer-exploits-apple-apsdaemon-vulnerability-to-evade-detection/ "A DLL hijacking vulnerability is when a legitimate program does not correctly check if the proper DLL is being loaded, and allows attackers to use their own malicious DLL instead. One program that suffers from a known DLL hijacking vulnerability is *Apple's Push Notification service executable (APSDaemon.exe)* that loads the AppleVersions.dll when executed. As APSDaemon.exe does not check if the legitimate AppleVersions.dll is being loaded, it allows attackers to replace it with a malicious version that gets loaded instead." "malicious msimg32.dll file then downloads and installs a renamed APSDaemon.exe and a malware loader renamed to Appleversions.dll into a subfolder of the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Speech\Engines folder" "A scheduled task is then created called "GoogleUpdateTask" that launches the renamed APSDaemon.exe and the malicious AppleVersions.dll" -- There's a good reason Apple MARKETING spend is high while R&D spend is the lowest of all high tech (nobody can find anyone with a lower R&D spend!) |

Doublespeak 1. On the one hand, they claim "Apple is better", and, yet, 2. When they see the truth, they respond "Apple is the same as Microsoft". o Why do apologists desperately try to shift the blame of Apple bugs to Google & Microsoft? https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/LOQx1Ok-79c Basically, nobody on the Windows groups is bamboozled by Microsoft o Hence, nobody blames Apple when Microsoft ships a vulnerability. And yet, almost always, Apple users are completely bamboozled by Apple o Such that they try to have it both ways (a) Apple is better than Microsoft, and yet, (b) When facts are told, they claim Apple is the same as Microsoft. While nospam doesn't believe a word he says, this is the typical Apple response to blame anyone but Apple for Apple's own faults. o Nobody on Ubuntu blamed Apple for Canonical's faults o Nobody on Android blames Apple for Google's faults o Nobody on Windows blames Microsoft for Apple's faults. It's _only_ the Apple Apologists who blame everyone but Apple o For faults that are clearly Apple's faults. To wit... *Yet again, it's a death sentence for PC security to load Apple software* o Simply because Apple has _never_ sufficiently tested their software HINT: Apple users actually _believe_ the MARKETING hype. o Whereas, for example, Windows users are smarter than that. -- There's a good reason Apple MARKETING spend is the highest in all of high tech, and yet, Apple R&D spend is the absolute _lowest_ in all high tech! |
