Voice Over 0:00
That is the Intego Mac podcast—the voice of Mac safety—for Thursday, August 29 2024. This week’s Intego Mac podcast headlines embody: Apple declares the date of their September iPhone occasion. You have to be conscious that Apple ID goes to be referred to as one thing totally different when Apple’s new working methods arrive. Some adjustments are additionally coming to Apple Care, and we now have the small print. And as regular, there’s new Stealer malware to speak about this week. Now listed below are the hosts of the Intego Mac podcast, veteran Mac journalist, Kirk McElhearn and Intego’s chief safety analyst, Josh Lengthy.
Kirk McElhearn 0:45
Good morning. Josh, how are you at present?
Josh Lengthy 0:48
I’m doing nicely. How are you, Kirk,
Apple’s September iPhone Occasion slated for September 9, 2024
Kirk McElhearn 0:50
I’m so excited, as a result of in 10 days, on September 9, it’s glow time.
Josh Lengthy 0:57
That’s proper. Yeah, we’ve obtained the official announcement hit this week about once we’re getting our iPhone reveal Apple occasion, and we all know it’s iPhones as a result of, nicely, Apple at all times does that this time of the 12 months, chances are high we’ll most likely additionally discover out precisely what date we are going to get the brand new iOS and macOS releases. In order that’s iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and in addition macOS Sequoia which might be popping out this 12 months. So fairly quickly we’re gonna have dates on these.
Kirk McElhearn 1:29
It’s not simply the iPhone, it’s additionally the Apple Watch, and there may very well be one thing else. So that you had been saying simply earlier than we began recording, you discovered instantly what glow time? And I didn’t It’s glow time. What are they speaking about? Oh, it’s showtime glowing just like the Siri that glows across the display and on the display with Apple intelligence. I assume that’s what it’s. Folks attempt to learn an excessive amount of into this stuff.
Josh Lengthy 1:52
Or alternatively, it’s go time like all proper, now’s the time?
Kirk McElhearn 1:56
Ah, see, I didn’t decide that up in any respect. Or possibly it’s sluggish time. Time’s going to decelerate as a result of it’s going to be a two hour Apple occasion. Oh my goodness. Anyway, it’s September 9, which is a Monday, and Apple doesn’t typically do these on Monday. Some individuals have advised it may very well be as a result of there is likely to be a presidential debate on Tuesday, and Apple desires to personal the information cycle for twenty-four hours with all of the free publicity they get. However as you stated, it’s iOS and iPadOS and macOS and watchOS and HomepodOS and TVOS. And also you had been additionally saying you’re questioning in the event that they’re going to say the Imaginative and prescient Professional and Apple intelligence, as a result of Apple hasn’t stated something about it. I’m truly interested in whether or not the Apple Watch or the HomePod might be concerned in Apple intelligence, as a result of may they work as a form of middleman, like if you happen to ask one thing to your watch, it sends it off to your telephone that does the processing, which then sends it again to you.
Josh Lengthy 2:53
Yeah, I believe that’s truly a very good level. And in reality, Imaginative and prescient Professional may truly do the identical factor, regardless that Imaginative and prescient Professional has an m2 chip, Apple intelligence options are going to be somewhat little bit of a drain on the battery, and there’s already form of battery life points, arguably, with Imaginative and prescient Professional, until you’re subsequent to an outlet and also you simply go away it plugged in all day lengthy, which most likely most individuals are usually not doing, I don’t know if you wish to have an extra battery drain, and that’s most likely why Apple hasn’t stated something so far about whether or not we’re getting any Apple intelligence options on Imaginative and prescient Professional. However that’s truly a very good level. If you happen to’ve obtained a brand new sufficient iPhone that it will get Apple intelligence, then what about all these different units which might be in that very same ecosystem? What about your watch? Clearly, your watch just isn’t going to run Apple intelligence itself, however possibly it might probably tie into your telephone and faucet into it that means. Nice concept. Additionally in regards to the HomePod. I additionally noticed some hypothesis possibly a couple of weeks in the past. Somebody was speaking in regards to the concept of, you already know, possibly that is time for Apple to replace the HomePod too. As a result of, like, how are we imagined to get Apple intelligence options on this machine that doesn’t have that the correct of processor. So possibly Apple will do one thing like that. I’m very curious to see what Apple does. There’s positively hypothesis that we’re going to get one thing associated to Imaginative and prescient Professional. I don’t assume we’re wherever near Apple saying a brand new Imaginative and prescient Professional or something like that. This isn’t the proper time or occasion for that. That is the iPhone occasion and the Apple Watch occasion, okay?
Layoffs at Apple within the Companies division
Kirk McElhearn 4:25
Apple laid off about 100 individuals who work with Apple Books and Apple Information. And that is form of fascinating, as a result of we simply had an apple earnings report lately. The providers that Apple sells, subscription providers, issues they promote. It’s about 22% of Apple gross sales, which is big. It’s a rise from, in response to Macros, 10% a decade in the past. And so these are providers in Apple providers division, proper? Apple Books, they promote eBooks they usually promote audio Books. And Apple Information, which we talked about final week, about how unhealthy it’s with horrible adverts, does have a Apple Information Plus subscription? Yeah, it’s form of fascinating. I don’t know what number of 100 staff symbolize for merchandise like that, for providers like that, you possibly can’t count on that they want 1000s of individuals to run Apple Books, proper?
Josh Lengthy 5:09
Effectively, that’s a superb level. And earlier than we began recording, we had been speaking about Taboola and the way Apple is now utilizing them for adverts. And so possibly these individuals had been one thing to do with, like adverts, and now they’re simply offloading that to a different firm. May very well be the opposite factor, by the best way, that is purely coincidental, however form of fascinating timing. At the least there was one other providers outage briefly for, I believe, a couple of hours for a few Apple providers, I believe, yesterday, as of once we’re recording this. And it’s fascinating that that occurred to coincide, form of with the announcement of Apple shedding a few of its providers staff.
Apple ID to be renamed to Apple Account
Kirk McElhearn 5:49
And these outages affected Apple Books and Apple Information, amongst others. It may have been a degruntled worker who turned off a server someplace, however you by no means know. You by no means know. So I believe we talked about a month or two in the past that individuals had found in code of the brand new working methods that Apple was going to make use of the phrases Apple Account as an alternative of Apple ID. And I noticed this in an bill that I obtained yesterday, nicely, an e mail receipt for my iCloud storage that it now says Apple Account, the earlier one I had from the third of August for a film I rented, stated Apple ID. So Apple has made this variation. Now, it’s not prefer it’s a giant change, however the concept of an Apple ID will now not exist. In some methods, it is sensible. You don’t have an e mail id, you might have an e mail account, proper? You don’t have an Amazon ID, you might have an Amazon account. When Apple launched this, this was fairly early on by way of on-line commerce and bundling of providers, which it did with iTunes and different providers that they had been producing again then. So you’ll discover the time period Apple Account. The issue with this on a Mac is that there are a number of person accounts. Now I don’t assume individuals will get confused by this, however your Apple Account is the one which I observed this morning, signing into the beta of macOS Sequoia on my MacBook Air. I needed to signal into Apple media providers. This was in a dialog on the Mac. Now, if you happen to look on the iPhone, you’ll discover it simply says iTunes Retailer and app retailer or one thing like that. It doesn’t speak about media providers, so I believe they’re simply rationalizing these phrases. And in some methods, this might additionally, you already know, most individuals don’t understand that Apple is current in nations world wide with a whole lot of languages, and it form of makes extra sense to make use of the phrase account for one thing like this than to make use of ID.
Josh Lengthy 7:38
I’ve at all times thought that Id feels like, you already know, identification card, proper? Such as you flash your ID card, like your pupil ID card, yeah, your pupil ID or no matter. So it feels form of bizarre to consider whenever you like, I’m so used to the time period Apple ID. It’s simply form of apparent to me. However now that I give it some thought, if I form of take a step again from it and have a look at it from one other perspective, I’m like, I truly form of, I’m probably not certain why they went with Apple ID within the first place. An Apple Account does appear to make extra sense.
Adjustments coming to Apple Care
Kirk McElhearn 8:10
There’s one thing else that I don’t know. If you happen to’ve observed I discussed final week I’ve obtained a trial subscription to Apple Information plus, and on the high proper of the Apple Information display, there’s a little round brand with the Apple Information icon, and round it, it says subscriber version. And also you additionally see that now whenever you have a look at your iCloud settings, if in case you have an iCloud Plus subscription, it’s a subscriber version. So it seems like they’re rolling this out amongst totally different providers. I haven’t seen it in Apple Music. I haven’t seen it in Apple TV plus. Apple TV plus but, however it’s a standardized icon that appears like they need to. It’s form of like a badge to make it appear to be a verify mark on Twitter or one thing proper, to make it look higher than a traditional version. Yet another little bit of apple data. I believe it was a 12 months or 12 months and a half in the past, Apple began permitting individuals to increase their Apple Care Plus. So, for instance, my m1 iMac that I promised I’d maintain for 5 years is now over three years outdated. I purchased three years of Apple Care Plus, and I used to be capable of lengthen it in June for an additional 12 months. Once I contacted Apple about this, they stated you might have 30 days from its expiration to resume it. They’ve prolonged that to 45 days now. 15 days isn’t lots, however I assume it’s the time to remind individuals increasingly, as a result of 22% of Apple’s earnings comes from providers, and Apple Care Plus is a type of providers that makes some huge cash. So if you happen to do have an Apple Care Plus plan on any of your units and also you need to lengthen it, you are able to do so, presumably, after 44 days you possibly can lengthen it. And I don’t know if which means you get 44 days without spending a dime or no matter, however it is likely to be a good suggestion to have a look at your machine and see if it’s helpful to increase it. In case you have an iPhone and Apple Care Plus, from what I perceive, irrespective of how outdated it. So long as you might have Apple Care, plus, they’ll change your battery when it will get under 80% battery well being. So if you happen to’re on the finish of your two 12 months interval of Apple Care, plus, in your iPhone, it’s about 82% good concept to resume it to get a free battery alternative. I get AppleCare plus for my work computer systems, as a result of I can’t afford to have them go incorrect. I get them for my iPhone as a result of iPhone carried round on a regular basis. I don’t actually purchase it for anything, however I like the concept you’re capable of lengthen it now. So somebody who buys Apple Care Plus for an iPhone to have safety in case they drop it and break the display. You may lengthen that for a 3rd, possibly even a fourth 12 months. If you wish to maintain the iPhone longer.
Josh Lengthy 10:41
It’s most likely not a not a foul concept if you happen to’re the form of one that desires to maintain your machine so long as potential, if you happen to’re not buying and selling in yearly or each two years, even this may very well be a superb choice for you. Even if in case you have a tool that doesn’t have a battery, just like the iMac, for instance, it would nonetheless be a good suggestion to resume it, similar to insurance coverage, to provide you somewhat bit of additional time in case your machine breaks throughout that subsequent interval.
Kirk McElhearn 11:04
And you’ll renew your Apple Care, plus on a month-to-month as an alternative of an annual foundation, if you happen to’ve taken it out on a month-to-month foundation, proper? So whenever you purchase a tool, you possibly can both pay up entrance for 2 years or three years, or you possibly can pay month-to-month. It’s somewhat bit extra to pay month-to-month, however whenever you get to the top, you possibly can renew month-to-month. So possibly you need to maintain your telephone three or 4 months after which promote it. You’ll pay the Apple Care Plus for 3 or 4 months, and that’s lots simpler than getting refunded in your Apple Care that you simply haven’t used. You didn’t know that you would be able to get refunded for unused Apple Care? Did you? In case you have purchased, say, an iPhone, and also you’ve obtained two years AppleCare and also you promote it after a 12 months, you contact Apple, they’ll refund you the half of the Apple Care, minus a small price, so that you possibly get three quarters of what was left. So if you happen to do add an extra 12 months on a Mac or an iPhone and promote it after a couple of months, you possibly can nonetheless get a refund on the Apple Care, or the Apple Care can switch it to the brand new proprietor, as a result of the applicant is linked to the machine, to not the proprietor.
Josh Lengthy 12:03
That’s what I used to be simply gonna say, yeah, you need to use that as a promoting level if you happen to’re gonna resell the machine your self on eBay or one thing.
Kirk McElhearn 12:10
Talking of buying and selling in, subsequent week, we’ll focus on how one can commerce in your iPhone and the place you will get the most effective amount of cash for it. As a result of if in case you have an iPhone, it’s the time to contemplate whether or not you need an iPhone 16 or not, you’re getting an iPhone 16, aren’t you? Josh.
Josh Lengthy 12:23
I believe I’m getting a 16 Professional, yeah, for the Apple Intelligence options. I’m not tremendous joyful about it.
Kirk McElhearn 12:29
You’re so enthusiastic about this.
Josh Lengthy 12:33
Effectively, you already know what? As a result of my 14 Professional is lastly simply going to be paid off, and now I’m going to start out a brand new fee plan for a 16 Professional and in addition an Apple Watch Sequence 10 on the similar time, as a result of now my watch is so outdated that it’s not going to get watch OS updates anymore. So I’m like, Ah, man, like all this directly.
Kirk McElhearn 12:49
Okay, so subsequent week, I’ll clarify to you tips on how to commerce in your iPhone to get some huge cash for it. You received’t get a lot for Apple Watch, because it’s, you already know, archaic. However that is what occurs when the 12 months comes round, whenever you replace a number of units, we’re going to take a break, and once we come again, once we come again, we’re going to speak about some malware with humorous names which might be laborious to pronounce.

What’s CthulhuStealer and ToDoSwift?
Kirk McElhearn 14:23
Okay, we’ve obtained malware with humorous names which might be laborious to pronounce this week. And the primary one is, now, I at all times pronounce this Cthulhu, the HP Lovecraft factor. Josh says it’s Cthulhu.
Josh Lengthy 14:35
Yeah. And Cthulhu, nicely, we had been unfastened and we had been trying this up, and apparently neither a type of is definitely official HP Lovecraft pronunciation, however in any case, so this mythological creature, proper? Okay, in order that form of seems like an octopus form of factor. Anyway, CthulhuStealer is a few malware that really is form of outdated. It was round in like February by means of April. This was a copycat of Amos the atomic MacOS stealer. However for no matter purpose, some random firm wrote a weblog put up about it, and it obtained picked up in some Apple Information websites. And so if you happen to occur to see some information about CthulhuStealer, simply know that, sure, that is outdated Stealer malware, and we’ve truly been detecting this for fairly a while already. So not one thing you’ll want to fear about. If you happen to did obtain it means again in February by means of April, it was disguising itself on the time as a Grand Theft Auto sport or possibly some Adobe software program. However once more, it was a very long time in the past, so don’t fear an excessive amount of about CthulhuStealer.
Kirk McElhearn 15:42
We had been discussing earlier than the present how that just about each episode we speak about a brand new metal or malware, and we don’t need individuals to get numb to assume that, okay, one other metal or malware. It’s like one other flash participant malware, and we’re not going to enter a lot element about them sooner or later, until they do one thing actually fascinating. As a result of that’s the malware at present. It’s, it’s Stealers, is as a result of that’s what malware is doing. It Stealers, however, however not each malware is metal the place we now have one thing that’s both referred to as in response to Josh TodoSwift, or in response to me, TodoSwift, and it’s prefer it the malware isn’t a PDF. That’s form of fascinating, proper?
Josh Lengthy 16:20
I believe the correct pronunciation might be TodoSwift. I don’t like the best way that they capitalized this. So it’s T, O, D, O, Swift. It’s utilizing the file title to do duties. And in order that’s the place I believe it’s it’s truly to do. However the best way that they capitalize it’s form of bizarre. So anyway, TodoSwift is just a few malware that disguises itself as a PDF. So if you happen to’re not cautious, you may assume that it is a PDF doc. You go to double click on it. Effectively, it seems it’s truly not a PDF. It’s truly a malicious app, and now it’s going to contaminate your system, after which we’ll launch a PDF for believable deniability. So that you’ll assume that you simply simply opened a PDF, and also you don’t understand that you simply truly ran malware in your machine. This was put out by a risk actor generally known as blunaroth, which is related to rust bucket. You may keep in mind we talked about that and sweet corn. These had been different Mac malware examples that got here out during the last couple of years. So the identical risk actor remains to be making mac malware at present, and it’s one other considered one of these superior persistent risk teams.
Kirk McElhearn 17:29
This jogs my memory of one thing from again in what 2004 mp3Concept, the place it was malware that was disguised as an mp3 file. This sounds precisely the identical factor, malware disguised as a PDF file. I consider that the mp3 idea, if you happen to double clicked it, would launch iTunes and play some type of music or not, however that might launch the Malicious program. So that is just about the identical factor. That’s what? 20 years outdated, the identical sort of approach.
Josh Lengthy 17:56
Yeah, Trojan horses have truly been utilizing like issues like pasted icons or icons that appear to be a doc or another app, for so long as Mac malware has been round, it’s it’s comparatively straightforward to place a customized icon that appears like something you need, and so yeah, sadly, typically risk actors do precisely that, even nonetheless at present.
Kirk McElhearn 18:18
However as you stated, it opens an precise PDF for and I quote, believable deniability.
Josh Lengthy 18:24
Proper? The entire, the entire concept is, proper? If you happen to’re double clicking on one thing that appears like a PDF and it doesn’t open a PDF, you may get somewhat anxious, but when it does open a PDF, you then don’t even actually assume twice about it. You go, oh, okay, cool. That’s, that’s the factor that I double clicked on, and it by no means even crosses your thoughts that, like, Oh, my system is likely to be contaminated. Now, what did I do?
Telegram CEO detained by French authorities
Kirk McElhearn 18:45
Okay, if you happen to’ve been following the information wherever you’ve heard that the CEO of Telegram was arrested in France. Telegram is a messaging app that, you already know, I at all times form of thought it was an encrypted messaging app, however now I perceive from studying an article an interview with Meredith Whitaker, the CEO of Sign, which is an encrypted messaging app, who stated Telegram is a social media app that enables a person to speak with tens of millions directly and doesn’t present significant privateness or finish to finish encryption. And he or she factors out that Sign is solely a non-public and safe communications app that has no social media options, so Telegram, that has form of been promoting itself as a messaging app, is de facto like Reddit. Is that every one it’s?
Josh Lengthy 19:27
Effectively, I believe that is vital to level out, as a result of I believe lots of people mistakenly consider Telegram as a safe messaging app, and it may be. However the factor is, it’s not by default. And if you wish to ship any person an encrypted message over Telegram, to start with, there’s solely a one to at least one relationship, and it’s important to manually allow that into an encryption between the 2 customers. So sure, you possibly can technically use it for. Safe communications, however most individuals truly don’t, as a result of both they assume that it’s encrypted by default, or they don’t care, or they’re utilizing it for, such as you stated, form of the social options. So WhatsApp has one thing form of just like this, the place it’s form of like a bunch group form of chat factor. So like Reddit, nicely, I assume you can say that, yeah, however individuals use these communities for dialogue of no matter they is likely to be, native communities to debate crime in your group, or they is likely to be international communities to debate, I don’t know no matter it is likely to be Apple or memes or no matter you is likely to be serious about, however
Kirk McElhearn 20:37
it looks like this individual was arrested as a result of the app is usually used for felony actions, they usually refuse to do any type of moderation to chop this out. It’s additionally utilized by navy in some nations to speak with one another.
Josh Lengthy 20:51
Which is de facto shocking to me. I’m not, I don’t, I wouldn’t suggest that, however I assume you can use it that means if you happen to actually wished to.
Kirk McElhearn 21:01
In any case, that is what we might name an unfolding affair, and we’ll have extra data. The French haven’t filed any prices. So far as I do know, there have been allegations that Telegram has not tried to cease criminality on the platform. And, you already know, Fb and Twitter they usually’ve all been approached to cease this type of factor, they usually’ve given details about sure customers to authorities in each nation, no matter what the CEOs of those firms say about free speech. This isn’t actually attempting to crack down on an encrypted messaging app, as a result of it’s not an encrypted messaging app. In contrast to Apple’s messages and iMessage service, which is encrypted finish this isn’t encrypted, as you stated, Josh, it it’s important to flip it on, and group chats are by no means encrypted. Okay? We launch this on a Thursday. So I’m going to say that each week now, Thursday is restart your browser day. Inform me why, Josh.
Be sure you recurrently replace your browser to obtain updates
Josh Lengthy 21:53
I’m unsure why Thursday, however I believe it’s a good suggestion.
Kirk McElhearn 21:56
nicely, as a result of this podcast is launched on Thursdays, even when individuals aren’t listening to it on Thursday, it’s a great way for us to recollect restart your browser on Thursday.
Josh Lengthy 22:04
All proper, sounds good. Okay. So sure, we had one more sequence of patches which might be actually vital that individuals must guarantee that they’ve put in. So Google launched patches for its Chrome browser on August 21 like regular, there have been an entire bunch of safety updates. The vital factor to know is that this time, there have been truly two vulnerabilities included in that roundup that Google says exploits for these vulnerabilities exist within the wild. So that is the factor that Apple calls exploited vulnerabilities or used to name actively exploited, and it’s the identical factor on this case, so you can name them zero day vulnerabilities. Now because of this you’ll want to set up patches urgently. Now, if you happen to’re quitting your browser each single day, then chances are high you most likely already obtained this replace and didn’t even find out about it. If you happen to go away your browser open for per week or extra at a time, then chances are you’ll not have gotten these patches put in already.
Kirk McElhearn 23:01
It’s because Chromium browsers solely set up their updates after they’re relaunched. In contrast to Apple Safari, which can set up an replace with the working system updates, and it may both be common working system replace or only a safety replace, Chromium is totally different. Now, as Josh stated, You may stop. I consider if you happen to go into the about display on any of those browsers, you’ll see if there’s an replace out there, I see this with zoom as nicely. If you happen to go into about, you’ll see this as an replace. Skype does this. Numerous issues. Apple apps don’t do that, however you actually ought to, each Thursday, put it in your calendar, restart your browser.
Josh Lengthy 23:34
Proper? For many apps going to about will do it. There are a few browsers that don’t try this. We’ll have particulars about that and the hyperlink within the present notes,
Kirk McElhearn 23:42
Okay, Microsoft had an August 2024, Patch Tuesday to repair 9 zero days six exploited any relation between these vulnerabilities within the Chrome browser vulnerabilities, as a result of, keep in mind, Microsoft Edge is a Chromium primarily based browser, proper?
Josh Lengthy 23:57
Really, this was a completely separate spherical of updates. So these got here out on August 13, which is the second Tuesday of the month, which was Patch Tuesday. So it’s simply value mentioning. It’s a superb factor to place in your calendar if you happen to do have home windows, or if you already know any person who has home windows to who isn’t very tech savvy, to remind them to put in updates on the second Tuesday of the month, as a result of Microsoft has normally a number of vulnerabilities they patch, together with typically some zero day vulnerability. So form of vital to ensure to patch these. However Microsoft did patch this vulnerability on Thursday final week. So so it is a separate replace for Microsoft Edge.
Kirk McElhearn 24:35
Okay, simply earlier than we end whereas we’re recording on August 28 Apple has launched. Apple has launched one other spherical of beta variations for the forthcoming working methods. It’s very probably that these would be the final typically the discharge candidate comes out per week to 10 days earlier than it’s introduced, possibly there’ll be one other replace earlier than the ninth of September, after they current all of this. However we’re getting near the purpose. The place we’re going to get all these thrilling new working methods. Now, I’m going to place a hyperlink within the present notes to an article about putting in MacOS, Sequoia beta in your Mac if you wish to attempt it now, it’s truly fairly steady. It’s fairly straightforward. There’s not a lot hazard to doing this, so long as you put in it, as defined on a separate apfs quantity the article, you perceive why. However if you wish to check out these new options, together with a few of the apple intelligence options. Now’s your likelihood. I assume that’s sufficient for this week till subsequent week. Josh, keep safe.
Josh Lengthy 25:27
All proper, keep safe.
