An independent security researcher claims Apple Macs with a Mac operating system and a T2 security chip are open to an exploit that could give bad actors root access. The flaw stems from the T2 chip, which is the second-generation version of Apple s chip that provides bolstered security including securing its Touch ID feature. An attacker would need physical access to the device to launch an attack, independent researcher Niels H. said. A fix has not been issued by Apple and the company has not commented on the issue.
