The
recent report published by insecurity experts revealed that Apple
security software is perfect for exposing Windows devices. The matter is
that the software in question is able to turn over Windows PCs sold by
more than 15 largest manufacturers, including Dell and Asus. It exploits
Apple’s fingerprint-reading software named UPEK Protector Suite.
Four months ago, Apple spent $356,000,000 to acquire Authentek, which had obtained the abovementioned technology from privately held UPEK a few years ago. So, Apple isn’t actually responsible for creating the vulnerable software, but still keeps playing its security games, thus placing its customers at risk. The software giant has yet to acknowledge the vulnerability and educate the users how to work around it.
