Apple’s Mac OS X Still Open to Malware, Thanks Gatekeeper

Security researcher Patrick Wardle says Mac OS X security patch released by Apple was “incredibly weak” and that the update was “easy to bypass” in minutes. Last year, The Hacker News reported a deadly simple exploit that completely bypassed one of the core security features in OS X known as Gatekeeper. Apple released a patch in November, but now the same security researcher who discovered the original Gatekeeper bypass vulnerability said he found an equally obvious workaround. Wardle will be presenting his findings at the Washington D.C. conference this weekend.
