Apple’s legal woes mount as vulnerability threatening crypto security comes to light
Summary
Academic researchers discovered a vulnerability in Apple's M-series chips, potentially compromising crypto key security. The vulnerability, known as DMP, allows extraction of encryption keys through a GoFetch attack. The flaw is unpatchable due to chip design but can be mitigated by third-party encryption software. Additionally, the US DOJ filed an antitrust case against Apple, alleging monopolistic practices in its "walled garden" business model. If Apple loses, it could impact the crypto industry positively.
