Security researchers David Maynor and Jon Ellch demonstrated hacking tools at Black Hat USA conference. The two researchers have found ways to seize control of laptop computers by manipulating buggy code in wireless device drivers. The researchers are now working with Apple to fix the problems, which may involve both operating system and driver patches, Maynor said. The Black Hat demonstration came just days after Intel issued patches for wireless driver flaws that could lead to the same problems that the researchers demonstrated in Las Vegas. The presentation got high marks from last years most-talked-about Black Hat presenter Michael Lynn.”]
