Apple's HomeView runs third-party apps by mirroring iPhone CarPlay apps

Apple has clarified that HomeView's support for third-party apps works through the same mirroring technology used in CarPlay, rather than running apps natively. When an iPhone is nearby, HomeView can access compatible apps, but all processing happens on the iPhone itself. Currently only CarPlay-compatible audio and video apps, such as Spotify and Deezer, are supported, with no option to install apps directly on the device.

third-party.com placeholder domain hijacked to spread ClickFix malware

Security researchers at Manifold Security found that third-party.com, a domain frequently used as a generic placeholder in developer documentation and code samples, now hosts a fake Cloudflare verification page. BleepingComputer confirmed the page mimics a 'Performing security verification' CAPTCHA that copies a malicious PowerShell command to a user's clipboard, then instructs them to paste and run it via Windows key + R, which downloads and executes malware from an external URL.
