What’s Happening
Cybersecurity experts have identified that certain Microsoft apps on macOS may be exploited by cybercriminals to gain access to user accounts. The issue stems from weaknesses in how these apps handle authentication and data encryption. Once exploited, hackers could gain control over your accounts, access sensitive emails, files, and even infiltrate your wider network.
How Could This Affect You?
If you’re using Microsoft applications on a Mac, you could be vulnerable to: - Unauthorized access to your email, calendar, and documents.
- Potential theft of personal or business data. - Increased risk of further malware attacks. - Compromised network security, impacting not just your device but potentially others connected to your network.
