Found a hole in Bluetooth, which allows you to hack the device with the operating system Apple and Microsoft

Researchers at Boston University have discovered a serious vulnerability in the Bluetooth communication protocol in Apple and Microsoft gadgets that allows attackers to track and identify devices. Vulnerabilities are subject to Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, as well as Microsoft tablets and laptops. Devices running Android are not affected.

Gadgets use public Bluetooth advertising channels to announce their presence to other devices. For security, most of them broadcast a random address that changes periodically. The researchers found that this information is enough to extract identifying tokens that allow you to track the device even after changing a random address.

The algorithm does not require decrypting messages or violating the security of the Bluetooth protocol, since it is completely based on public unencrypted advertising traffic.

Devices running iOS or macOS have two identifying tokens that change at different intervals. On …

iPad can be turned into a Touch Bar for any Apple computer.

Good news for owners of Apple computers without Touch Bar: in macOS Catalina, Apple added the ability to use the iPad as a touchpad.

The new Sidecar feature allows you to connect your iPad to your Mac either wiredly or wirelessly. The input device is supported by the Apple Pencil.

In macOS-applications with support for the touch panel, the controls are displayed at the bottom of the iPad screen, replacing the Touch Bar, which is in some models of MacBook Pro.

Apple will transfer the features of some applications from iOS to macOS

Developer Steve Trouton-Smith discovered in the code of the recently announced macOS Catalina new versions of the Messages and Siri Commands applications, in which some functions were ported from versions for iOS.

Trouton-Smith also stressed that the interface of future applications is similar to that currently used in macOS Mojave, but for some functions (such as iMessage effects), it will use the Project Catalyst framework.

Project Catalyst, which was presented at the WWDC 2019 developer conference, was developed by Apple since last year, codenamed Marzipan. This tool allows developers to port applications from iOS to macOS, marking only one item when compiling a file in Xcode. Apple has already ported some applications (News, Home, Shares, Voice Recorder) from mobile to desktop.

ICloud will allow you to log in via Face ID and Touch ID

Apple is testing a new iCloud login method among iOS 13 beta testers, iPadOS 13 and macOS Catalina. Users can login to their account using their Face ID or Touch ID.

When you go to the website beta.icloud.com in Safari, a pop-up window appears asking you to log in using biometric data. In this case, two-factor confirmation is not required.

Developers who have tried the feature note that logging into an iCloud account using Face ID and Touch ID is much easier and safer than entering a password.

The public beta versions of iOS 13, iPadOS 13 and macOS Catalina were released two weeks ago. The final release of the new Apple operating systems will be held in September.

Huawei changed the name of its operating system

Huawei has registered the Harmony trademark (“Harmony”), which is likely to become the name of the software for the company's future phones and laptops. This is the site LetsGoDigital.

Documents submitted to the European Union’s Intellectual Property Office mention mobile and computer operating systems. This confirms the assumption that Huawei is developing a single OS for all devices.

Earlier in the network there were rumors that the Huawei operating system will be called Hongmeng or Ark. It is even possible that the company will use different names in different regions. In a recent interview with the French magazine Le Point, the head of Huawei said that Hongmeng would be faster than iOS, Android and macOS.

In May, the US government added Huawei to the black list of companies, cooperation with which is undesirable because of the threat to national security. …
