🎧 A Nasty Worm in Your Apple Product (and How to Fix It)


Listen Later

It’s been a rough week or so for Apple products, in particular their new Macintosh operating system version called High Sierra. A horrendous security bug was released last week that would let anyone have full, unfettered access to your computer - possible even remotely. That’s about as bad as it gets, folks. I’ll tell you all about it, including how to fix it once and for all.



We’ll also talk about some insidious HP computer software that is sending tracking information back to the mother ship without proper warning or consent, how some clever thieves have figured out how to steal cars by faking out your keyless entry system, and why now is the time to support Net Neutrality.
