Hackers Actively Exploiting macOS’s Built-in Screen Sharing Service Vulnerability in the Wild
Matched: cryptocurrency
Hackers are exploiting a flaw in macOS's built-in Screen Sharing service to gain root-level access to devices. Attackers are using the remote-access feature to place files, alter system settings, and deploy cryptocurrency mining malware. The threat is notable because Screen Sharing ships enabled on many Macs, giving attackers a widely available entry point on a limited number of targeted systems.
