"Apple's Safari Browser Is Still Vulnerable to Spectre Attacks"

Modern processors have a fundamental flaw in their hardware architecture that allows adversaries to steal sensitive data. This insight arose from the Spectre attack reported in 2018, which affected many devices and operating systems. Apple was one of the manufacturers that developed countermeasures in response to this. However, according to researchers, even in 2023, Mac and iOS systems are inadequately protected against this type of attack. A team of researchers from Ruhr University Bochum, Georgia Tech, and the University of Michigan showed that a hardware vulnerability could be exploited to gain access to passwords, emails, and location data through the Safari browser. This article continues to discuss the vulnerability of Apple's Safari browser to Spectre attacks.
