'Apple's New MacOS Sequoia Update Breaks Cybersecurity Tools, Experts Say' - TechCrunch
On Monday, Apple released its latest computer operating system update called macOS 15, or Sequoia. And, somehow, the software update has broken the functionality of several security tools made by CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft, and others, according to posts on social media, as well as messages posted in a Mac-focused Slack channel.
在周一,苹果发布了最新的计算机操作系统更新macOS 15,或者称为Sequoia。然而,这次软件更新对由CrowdStrike、SentinelOne、微软和其他公司制作的几个安全工具的功能造成了破坏,根据社交媒体上的帖子以及在面向Mac的Slack频道上发布的消息。
At this point, it's unclear exactly what is the issue, but appears to affect several products made by companies that provide software for macOS users and enterprises, which has caused frustration among people who work on and with macOS-focused security tools.
目前尚不清楚问题的具体原因,但它似乎影响了为macOS用户和企业提供软件的多家公司制作的多个产品,这引起了在macOS安全工具上工作或与之相关的人们的不满。
"As a developer of macOS security tools, it's incredibly frustrating to time and time again have to deal with (understandably) upset users (understandably) blaming your tools for breaking their Macs, when in reality it was Apple's fault all along," said Patrick Wardle, the founder of Mac and iOS security startup DoubleYou, and a longtime expert on macOS security.
作为一名macOS安全工具的开发人员,每次都不得不与(可以理解的)沮丧的用户打交道,(可以理解的)责备你的工具破坏了他们的Mac,而实际上一直都是苹果的错,这让人非常沮丧。" Mac和iOS安全初创公司DoubleYou的创始人、长期从事macOS安全领域的专家Patrick Wardle说。
"I get it, that writing bug free software is challenging, but maybe if Apple spent less time and money on marketing, and more time on actually testing their software, we'd all be better off!" Wardle told TechCrunch.
"我明白,编写无BUG的软件是具有挑战性的,但也许如果苹果花更少的时间和金钱在市场营销上,而是更多地用于对软件进行实际测试,那么我们都会受益!" Wardle告诉TechCrunch。
On the day of macOS Sequoia's release, a CrowdStrike sales engineer said in a Slack room for Mac admins that the company had to delay support for the new version of Mac's operating system. "I'm very sorry to report that we will not be supporting Sequoia on day 1 in spite of our intention (and previous track record) to support the latest OS within hours of [General Availability]," the engineer said in the message, seen by TechCrunch.
在macOS Sequoia发布当天,CrowdStrike一名销售工程师在面向Mac管理员的Slack房间中表示,该公司不得不推迟支持新版本的Mac操作系统。"很抱歉地告诉大家,尽管我们本意是(以及以前的记录也是如此)在[通用可用性]发布后几个小时内支持最新的OS,但我们将不支持Sequoia的第一天,"这位工程师在消息中写道,TechCrunch已看到该消息。
The engineer also said CrowdStrike sent out a "Tech Alert" to customers, adding that "there's quite a lot going on with the changes in the network stack."
这位工程师还表示CrowdStrike向客户发送了一份"技术警报",并补充说"网络堆栈的变化带来了很多问题。"
"We're also tracking some similar issues with other vendors, and have feedback and a case in to Apple. While we would love for there to be a fast-follow patch that resolves this for us, we're acting under the assumption there won't be and we'll need to fix it in our code with a sensor release," the sales engineer wrote.
"我们还在跟踪其他供应商的类似问题,并向苹果反馈并提出了一个案例。虽然我们希望能够有一个快速的修复补丁来解决这个问题,但我们基于这样的假设行事,即不会有快速跟进的补丁,我们需要通过发布传感器版本来修复它。" 销售工程师写道。
