Google Disclosed OS X Vulnerabilities Patched In OS X 10.10.2

Earlier this week, Google’s security team Project Zero released a report which highlighted some vulnerabilities found in Apple’s OS X. The good news is that if you’re an OS X user and worried about the potential security risk you are facing, you can rest assured in knowing that Apple has already patched one of the three vulnerabilities, and the other two are in the works.

According to the folks at iMore, Apple is already working on patching the remaining two vulnerabilities in OS X 10.10.2 which is currently in developer testing. It is unclear as to when the latest build of OS X will be released, but at the very least we can rest assured knowing that the next OS X update will address these problems.

However if you’re still paranoid, iMore has stated that these exploits cannot be used remotely, meaning that the hacker would actually need physical access to your machines in order to cause damage. “None of these exploits can be used remotely, which means they’d need to be combined with remote exploits or with physical access to the hardware to be put to any practical use.”

Either way we will be keeping our eyes and ears peeled for more information regarding the release of OS X 10.10.2, so do check back with us at a later date for the details.
