Apple solves the serious security problem in macOS High Sierra with an update [Update as soon as possible]

And it is that a few hours ago we saw how Apple and especially macOS High Sierra users received a major setback in terms of system security. With this bug detected by a developer, millions of users could have had serious security problems And we can't help but give the macOS team a huge slap on the wrist.

The failure was undoubtedly important since it allowed us to access our Mac at "root" level with all the powers in a simple way, even if our Mac had a startup password, and therefore access to all our data was left open. They haven't been long in releasing a patch with the Fully mandatory security update for all those who have macOS High Sierra installed on their Mac.

While you read this you should visit the Mac App Store in the Updates tab and click on the installation "Security Update 2017-001" so that this serious problem can be solved on your Mac. In this case, we are "embarrassed" by what happened to the operating system and we believe that Apple cannot afford such serious errors.

This will undoubtedly be a fault that Apple will be reminded of for a long time and we find it unfortunate that such a simple error to solve can go through all the control filters carried out in the company before releasing a new version to the public in general. We do not know how long this error has been in the system, so it is clear that in just a few hours it has spread through the network thanks to the tweet launched by the developer Levi Orhan, of which there is disparity of opinions regarding his publication of the serious security problem. This is a separate issue and we will not go into the way to proceed, per se thank Levi for detecting the problem, as well as Apple's speed in releasing an update to fix it.

    And what about those of us who did not upgrade to »HIGH SIERRA» and we continue without incident in SIERRA.
    Precisely because of the unforgivable errors of the latest updates. With this article of important and unforgivable errors, I reaffirm my opinion not to update if it is not strictly necessary.
