This #security #flaw really bums me out. Given the additional cost of #macs to begin with and the fact that this is not something that can be #patched I'm not sure how #apple will #respond here.

Don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan of the #hardware and the #apple ecosystem but this is going to be #painful.
