WASHINGTON: Apple has rejected ‘Bash’ bug, which is wrecking havoc in the IT world, saying that its Macintosh PCs are unlikely to be affected by this recently discovered bug.
According to the US company spokesman, the majority of (Macintosh) OS X users are not at risk to ‘Bash’ vulnerabilities. He said that OS X systems were safe by default and were not exposed to remote exploits of Bash unless users configure advanced Unix services.
Apple’s statement came a day after the US government and technology experts warned of vulnerability in some computer operating systems that could allow widespread and serious attacks by hackers.
