Google has uncovered a rare security flaw for Apple’s computer operating system MacOS…it was a bug that was known by Apple…they are aware and have been notified that it has to be fixed in the next 90 days.  The Google folks are calling the bug, “BuggyCow.”

The bug allows malware already running on a Mac, or a rogue logged-in user, to gain access to the more protected bits of their computer. The Mac would already need to be compromised in some way to actually exploited the bug.  Security is build in layers and in this case at an OS layer that is not the case with the current OS in production.
