Apple confirms iPhone, Mac affected by Meltdown, Spectre flaws, but Apple Watch unaffected | #CyberSecurity #Awareness #NobodyIsPerfect  | Apple, Mac, MacOS, iOS4, iPad, iPhone and (in)security... | Scoop.it

Apple has issued a statement regarding the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities, confirming all Mac systems and iOS devices are affected, but saying there are no known exploits impacting customers at this time.

The iPhone maker has already released mitigations in iOS 11.2, macOS 10.13.2, and tvOS 11.2 to help defend against Meltdown. A spokesperson confirmed Friday that Apple Watch is not affected by either Meltdown or Spectre, despite its own initial report Thursday.

"In the coming days we plan to release mitigations in Safari to help defend against Spectre," the company said in a statement. "We continue to develop and test further mitigations within the operating system for the Spectre techniques, and will release them in upcoming updates of iOS, macOS, and tvOS."
