Sonke sihlobanisa igama hacker njengesithombe sekhava, isidalwa esibi, esigqoke okumnyama, esisebenzisa amakhono aso ekhompyutha ukwenza okubi nomaphi lapho sifuna khona, sakha amagciwane, i-malware futhi sinyonyobele imifantu yezindonga ezingenakunqobeka zezinhlelo zokuphepha.
Hhayi-ke ngeke kube. Isigebenga simane singusosayensi wekhompyutha onolwazi olunzulu lwe ukuphepha kwe-cyber, ekwazi ukweqa okhiye bokufinyelela kwidijithali. Futhi njengakuwo wonke amaqembu, kunabantu abalungile nababi. Omunye wabafana abalungile usize u-Apple ukuthi avale iminyango engavuliwe yeSafari, futhi inkampani yamvuza ngakho.
Ngolunye usuku oluhle usosayensi wekhompyutha URyan Pickren waqala ukufuna iminyango yangemuva kusiphequluli sendabuko se-Apple Safari. Ngemuva kokusebenza kanzima, wathola ukukhubazeka okuthile kukhodi yohlelo lokusebenza, futhi wakwazi ukufinyelela kukhamera nakwimakrofoni yanoma yimuphi umsebenzisi. Ukuphela kwesisulu obekufanele sikwenze ukufaka iwebhusayithi yabo.
I-Apple inesiqiniseko esithile ukukhathazeka ngokuphepha yesoftware yakho namadivayisi akho. Iqiniso ukuthi ungaziqhayisa ngalo, futhi lingenye yezinto ezihlukanisayo zomkhiqizo. Lokhu kuze kwaholela ezinkingeni nohulumeni wase-US ngokuvikela idatha yabasebenzisi bayo ngaphezu kwakho konke okunye, njengoba kufanele kube njalo.
Kepha hhayi lonke udumo oluya konjiniyela beCupertino. Kwesinye isikhathi basizwa ngabaduni bangaphandle abasebenzisana ne- Uhlelo lwe-Bug Bounty i-Apple enale njongo. UPickren, ngalolu hlelo, wazise u-Apple ngokutholakala kwakhe, futhi unikezwe u- $ 75.000.
Umgengezi akatholanga lutho olungaphansi kwalolo ukuba sengozini okuyisikhombisa eSafari, amathathu awo avumela ukufinyelela kukhamera ye-iPhone ngokusebenzisa ikhodi enonya. Ukuphela kwesisulu bekufanele bangene kwiwebhusayithi yabo, kanti abakwaPickren sebekwazi ukufinyelela kukhamera nakwimakrofoni ukude. Cishe akukho lutho.
Isigebengu sakwazi ukufinyelela kukhamera lapho sivakashela iwebhusayithi yaso
I-Apple yalungisa inkinga ngokushesha
NgoDisemba uPickren wazisa inkampani ngemiphumela yakhe. Iziphazamisi ezintathu ezibaluleke kakhulu zilungiswe yi-Apple ngoJanuwari ngokuvuselelwa kwe- I-Safari 13.0.5. Amanye amaphutha amabi kakhulu alungiswa ngoMashi 24 ngokuvuselelwa kwe- I-Safari 13.1.

UPickren, ujabule ngakho, ushicilele ukuthi uzotshala ingxenye yemali ekuthengeni amadivayisi amasha ukuqhubeka nokuphenya nokuthola izindlela ezintsha zokugenca lolu hlelo. Kwazi bani ukuthi uthole iminyango engaphezu kwesikhombisa….
