Apple’s macOS High Sierra Security Flaw root access without password !

Off Topic

APPLE users have noticed a troubling flaw in the company’s Mac operating system which lets people circumnavigate password protocols to gain access to the computer.

Raising alarming privacy concerns, it means anyone with physical access to your MacBook or iMac can create a phantom profile that won’t show up on real admin accounts if the machine is running the new High Sierra operating system.

In the device’s System Preferences, under Users & Groups, you can click on the lock and gain system administrator access by simply entering the username “root” and leaving the password blank. After hitting enter a few times it grants access. Once that is done, the trick can be used to log into the computer at any time.

I think the author made a good point about Google vs. Facebook. I think if something needs to go viral or going viral is the motive Facebook can be useful. If you want to actually have customers: Google.

I used Boonex once... once.

For some reason I'm on their mailing list. I think it's the first time I got a useful email from them.

Gotta love those licenses.

Yup. You have people and business out there who need a website and have no idea how to create one. They don't want to pay a design agency or designer to create a website. For a simple html website I charge around $2000. They end up going with the easy site builders of the world and pay for hosting, domain renewals, and extra features. I agree, subscription services are still viable and will be in the future.

It seems like a lot of people are creating easy to make website editors. I guess that's the future.

The Froala editor is nice. You thinking about adding it to JR?
