Zoom fixes security flaw that let hackers gain root access to your Mac

Aug 16, 2022

Zoom has just rolled out a new update for its application on Apple Mac platform. The new update patches a major security vulnerability that would allow hackers to gain deep access to one’s Mac system.

According to a ArsTechnica report, the popular cloud based video conferencing service had to patch a major security flaw that enabled people with malicious to gain root level access to one’s Mac PCs. This would let the hackers take control of their systems. Apparently, this vulnerability stemmed from the Zoom application’s auto updater software, which had root level access to the system. This software only had a signature verification system that could be easily fooled by giving your package a familiar file name.

In other words, a hacker could potentially force your app to downgrade or otherwise enable exploits as well. The security flaw was first discovered by Patrick Wardle, the Objective-See Foundation (OSF) creator and researcher. Wardle had informed Zoom regarding this vulnerability back in December 2021. Now, the company has officially fixed this issue, although, the patch also brought another bug as well.

However, this was also soon fixed by Zoom, but Wardle found yet another bug in the application which was just recently patched as well. Notably, this isn’t the first time Zoom faced security related issues with its platform for the Mac systems. The company also had to quickly fix a webcam hijack exploit back in 2019, which lead to rise in criticism of the software, especially in 2020 when the app exploded in popularity.

Just a couple of weeks ago, Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) was promptly removed from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store in India. The game was apparently getting the ban hammer under the same law that removed PUBG Mobile from the region. However, it appears that this decision might be reversed soon.

The news arrives from Maxtern, who shared the information on Twitter. Looking at his tweet, he claims that the popular battle royale title has a high possibility of coming back to the Indian market soon. So far, there have already been influencers that have shared their optimism regarding the mobile game’s return. But this social media post claims that it is almost guaranteed to return.

For those unaware, Krafton’s Indian version of PUBG Mobile was recently removed from the app stores in the country, which raised major concerns regarding the entire esports scene surrounding the game. Apart from this, content creators, professional players, and many other were also affected by its delisting. However, the Indian government has yet to offer any official statement regarding this matter.

Maxtern is a content creator for Team Godlike and his tweet reads that “According to the sources, BGMI has a high chance of coming back soon!” As of right now, it is still unclear if the game will actually be returning to app stores in the country. So stick around for more updates regarding this matter.

Vivo‘s rapidly growing sub-brand iQOO has launched multiple devices in its Z6 series this year. Now, a new report from 91mobiles (citing industry sources) has revealed the existence of another smartphone in the series called the iQOO Z6 Lite.

According to the report, the Z6 Lite will be very similar to the Vivo T1x which was launched last month in India. This implies that the device will likely offer 4G connectivity only. Additionally, the device is tipped to launch in the second week of September.

As for the pricing, the report mentions that the iQOO Z6 Lite could cost Rs 500 to Rs 700 lesser than the Vivo T1x. For those unaware, the Vivo T1x launched with a starting price tag of Rs 11,999 and went as high as Rs 14,999. As for the specification, since the device is most likely a Vivo T1x rebrand, we can look at the specs of the T1x to get an idea of what to expect.

Vivo T1x specifications and features

The device has a teardrop notch and a 6.58-inch IPS LCD display. It has a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2408 pixels and a refresh rate of 90Hz. The screen-to-body ratio of the display is 90.6 percent.

iPhone 14 dummies — iPhone 14 Series prototypes

The latest leak arrives from LeaksApplePro who has been known to offer tips regarding certain upcoming products from the Cupertino based giant. As per the tipster, a source close to the matter got some hands on time with a working unit of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. After which, the person shared his personal thoughts about the experience he had with the two high end models. According to the source, the new pill shaped cutout setup on the front serves practically the same function as the large notch that it was replacing.

The person added that it might be take a while to get used to this but will not notice the design after some time. Furthermore, the source added that display also brings no real quality improvements over the previous generation iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max either, despite rumors going on regarding the newer models featuring Samsung’s latest M12 generation OLED technology. In the tweet, the tipster’s source claimed that the iPhone 14 Pro Max feels like a brick in hand.

Lastly, the person also talked the camera system of the two upcoming phones. Apple has had its iPhone series stick with a 12 megapixel primary camera on the rear for some time now. However, the newer models will pack a large 48 megapixel resolution. But people feared that there is a trade off to this since the higher resolution also means smaller pixels. And the hands on impressions confirms these fears. The source claimed that the 48 megapixel sensor worked great, but only when there is enough light. Keep in mind that this is still an unconfirmed report, so take this news with a pinch of salt and stick around for more updates.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro 5G certifications

First off, we have the Google Play-supported device listing which reveals that the device has the SM-T636B model number. It also confirms the moniker as “Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro 5G.” The moniker confirms that the tablet will launch with SIM support and there might be a Wi-Fi-only variant as well.

The rugged tablet’s model number on the Google Play Console is displayed as SM-T638B, which may be an error since the tab’s model number in the other two databases is T636B. The website does indicate that this is the Galaxy Tab Active 4 Pro 5G, regardless of the model number. This listing indicates that the Qualcomm SM7325 SoC, which is the Snapdragon 778G with four 2.4GHz and four 1.8GHz cores, would power the tablet. There will be 4GB of RAM onboard. The Adreno 642L GPU will be paired with this SoC.

Over the last couple of weeks, there have been a number of launches for Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 powered smartphones. Now, it appears that Black Shark is also planning on launching a new high performance smartphone in the market.

The news arrives from known tipster Digital Chat Station who shared the news on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website). Looking at the social media post, the smartphone in question will be a high end model that had initially sported a 2K display, but now features a 1080p (likely FHD+) resolution. Furthermore, the Black Shark smartphone will reportedly be powered by a 4,790mAh battery pack and it uses a dual cell design with 100W fast charging support.

On the rear, the smartphone features a triple camera setup, with the primary sensor being a 64 megapixel IMX686 sensor, paired with a 13 megapixel lens and 2 megapixel shooter. Meanwhile, the front will house a 16 megapixel selfie camera. Apart from this, the tipster also stated that there is a good chance that this Black Shark phone will become the next flagship next year. Although, it is entirely likely that it is an upcoming refreshed model of an existing smartphone lineup as well.

Back in June 2022, the blogger had also revealed some other details regarding this smartphone. Back then, he mentioned the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, since the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 hadn’t been announced. During that time, we had assumed that the smartphone could be a part of the Black Shark 5S series, which will be the latest flagship entry from the Chinese brand.

Last week, we got our first looks at the upcoming Motorola Edge 30 Fusion via leaked renders. The phone is likely a rebrand of the Motorola S30 Pro which was recently launched in China.

Now, tipster Evan Blass aka OnLeaks has revealed more renders of the upcoming Motorola Edge 30 Fusion. So, let’s take a look.

The device looks a lot like the Motorola S30 Pro. Blass claims that this is the Motorola “Tundra,” which was the codename spotted on Geekbench for the Edge 30 Fusion. It appears to have the same camera configuration as the S30 Pro featuring a 50-megapixel 1/1.55” sensor with 1.0µm pixels, 2.0µm with binning, and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). The images also reveal that the device has Dolby Atmos tuned speakers.

The Edge 30 Fusion has a power button and a volume rocker on the right side. While its bottom has a SIM slot, a USB-C connector, a microphone, and a speaker grille.

The rear camera module contains a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS capability, as can be seen by taking a closer look at it. It might have a 32-megapixel front camera for selfies. A 4,270mAh battery with 68W rapid charging capabilities may be inside.

The device is expected to launch this month or in the month of September.
