In Brief Apple released patches for a bug that it says “may have been exploited in an extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals,” citing a report. The zero-day bug was found in WebKit, the browser engine powering Safari and other apps, and allowed hackers to break out of WebKit’s protective sandbox with “maliciously crafted web content,” per Apple. A sandbox is part of the operating system that, even if compromised, can keep hackers from accessing data in other parts

Apple's 13-inch MacBook Air remains my favorite laptop.

During a Fox News interview earlier this week, multi-hypenate billionaire and X-formerly-Twitter owner Elon Musk blamed a "massive cyberattack" that repeatedly took down the site yesterday as coming from Ukraine.
