Apple’s latest major Mac operating system, macOS High Sierra, has seen more than its fair share of bugs. These aren’t minor bugs, either. Previously, there was a bug that allowed any user root access to your Mac because the system accepted a blank password attempt.
Yet another security bug has been found in the operating system that allows users to access the passwords to encrypted APFS external drives.
