                Convenience often comes with a security tradeoff.

                Security researchers have uncovered six vulnerabilities affecting Apple AirDrop and Google/Samsung Quick Share, potentially impacting more than 5 billion devices across iOS, macOS, Android, and Windows. The flaws could allow nearby attackers to crash sharing services, manipulate protocol states, and in some cases potentially achieve code execution under specific conditions. Vendors have already begun releasing fixes, with additional patches in progress.

                The research is a reminder that proximity-based features—while incredibly useful—also expand the attack surface. Organizations should ensure devices are fully patched, limit discoverability to trusted contacts where possible, and regularly review wireless sharing settings.

                Security isn’t just about defending internet-facing services anymore—it’s also about protecting the protocols running quietly in the background.

Ich weiß aber, dass ein erstellt wird oder erstellt werden kann.

I don't care about chat history or media sharing, I just want my PC to act as an extension so I can quickly type a reply when a notification pops up. Does it work like that? Correct me if I'm wrong, but in my opinion the Microsoft's app is like a bridge between my laptop and iPhone... I'm just curious. 🧵
