While Apple scrambles to issue a software fix for a major macOS High Sierra vulnerability, astute observers are wondering what took the company so long to react — after all, the problem was known about weeks ago. 。

It seems that on November 13, a commenter on an Apple developer forum disclosed the very vulnerability that today threw the infosec community into a frenzy. Oh, and it was called out 9 days ago on Twitter as well. 。

Whether or not anyone tried to responsibly disclose the threat with Apple remains unclear. But the fact that this attack — which in some cases can be performed remotely — was known to some developers weeks before Apple issued a statement about it is sure to turn heads.。
