Apple has said it is working to fix a serious bug within its Mac operating system.
The flaw in MacOS High Sierra - the most recent version - makes it possible to gain entry to the machine without a password, and also have access to powerful administrator rights.
“We are working on a software update to address this issue,” Apple said in a statement.

Excellent news.
They say "This morning, as of 8am PT, the update is available for download, and starting later today it will be automatically installed on all systems running the latest version (10.13.1) of MacOS High Sierra.”
That should relieve some anxiety anyway...

I won't restart my MAC till they fix it
Apple times are gone
"someone" must be turning in his grave!
Oh you're not wrong there, sadly the money men now rule at apple, and have been pi$$ing on Jobs grave since.
Steve Jobs created the mobile world we live in, each year they pushed new tech, innovated from his ideal of the device being an extension of you, to be yourself, to think different.
Now, they are so far behind that tech writers are praising a 1440p oled screen as the great second coming, no innovation, just rebranding existing features. it's an extension of your social status, be part of the crowd, think sheep.
I mean honestly, the iPhone X is very much a £1100+ emoji machine, it has nothing, literally nothing else going for it, even apple know this all their X adverts are based on stupid animojis.

Yet if you read the Apple Mega thread there are still many, many customers jumping up and down to get the iPhone X. And those that have received their new phones love it. Clearly there's no accounting for taste. I wouldn't have a new iPhone X if Apple paid me £1,000 😜
