Unpatchable vulnerability discovered in Apple M1, M2 and M3 chips — what you need to know

MacBook Pro 2021 (16-inch) on a patio table.

Researchers have discovered a new unpatchable security flaw that can break encryption on the best MacBooks if exploited by an attacker.

As reported by 9To5Mac, this recently discovered vulnerability affects every Mac running Apple silicon including the company’s M1, M2 and M3 chips. To make matters worse, the flaw is present in the architecture of these chips which means there’s no way for Apple to fix it outright. Instead, any fixes will need to be made before the iPhone maker releases its M4 chips later this year.
