Ahhhh Bugs!!! Mac OS

For SUUNTO Spartan model watches, bug was fixed with firmware release 2.8.32. The control panel in Classic Mac OS versions 6, 7, and 8 only allows the date to be set as high as 31 December 2019, although the system is able to continue to advance time beyond that date. From the Apple menu  in the corner of your screen, choose About This Mac. You should see the macOS name, such as macOS Big Sur, followed by its version number. If you need to know the build number as well, click the version number to see it. Which macOS version is the latest? I should have checked the git issues before, but I can confirm the bug on Firefox 42 on OS X 10.11. Behaves like expected in all other browsers. Removed will-change and it seems to work again in Firefox. Mac OS 8.5.1, released December 7, 1998, was a minor update to Mac OS 8.5 that fixes several bugs that caused crashes and data corruption. Released May 10, 1999, Mac OS 8.6 added support to the Mac OS nanokernel to handle preemptive tasks via the Multiprocessing Services 2.x and later developer API. This update improved PowerBook.

Around four times more vulnerabilities are discovered in Microsoft Windows systems than Mac OS X but they are patched far quicker, according to new research from Kenna Security.

The vulnerability management firm commissioned the Cyentia Institute to analyze data from nine million assets at 450 organizations, in order to compile its report, Prioritization to Prediction Volume 5: In Search of Assets at Risk.

It revealed that the assets with fewer bugs tend to be patched slower by manufacturers, while those with more are fixed quicker.

For example, it found that a Windows-based asset has an average of 119 vulnerabilities per month: four times the median number found in Mac OS X (32) and 30 times that of network appliances (4).

However, those Windows vulnerabilities are patched within 36 days on average, while it takes an average of one year (369 days) to fix network devices like routers, printers, or Internet of Things appliances.

It was calculated that it takes Apple 70 days on average to release patches for Mac OS X machines, nearly twice as long as Microsoft, and 254 days for Linux/Unix.

Microsoft was found to have a critical patch rate of 83%, with Mac OS X in second (79%), then network appliances/devices (64%) and finally Linux (63%).

This is despite the fact that in the study, researchers found 215 million bugs on Microsoft machines. Although 179 million were fixed, the remaining 36 million exceeded the total number of patched and unpatched vulnerabilities on Mac, Linux, Unix, and network devices combined.

“With automated patching and Patch Tuesdays, the speed at which Microsoft is able to fix critical vulnerabilities on their systems is remarkable, but there still tend to be a lot of them,” said Wade Baker, partner and founder at Cyentia Institute.

“On the other hand, we see lots of assets like routers and printers where high-risk vulnerabilities have a longer shelf life. Companies need to align their risk tolerance, strategy, and vulnerability management capabilities around these trade-offs.”

A phishing scam has targeted Mac users by redirecting them from legitimate websites to fake websites which tell them that their computer is infected with a virus. The user is then offered Mac Defender 'anti-virus' software to solve the issue.
This “anti-virus” software is malware (i.e. malicious software). Its ultimate goal is to get the user's credit card information which may be used for fraudulent purposes.
The most common names for this malware are MacDefender, MacProtector and MacSecurity.

Apple released a free software update (Security Update 2011-003) that will automatically find and remove Mac Defender malware and its known variants.
The Resolution section below also provides step-by-step instructions on how to avoid or manually remove this malware.
