A recent malware infection on a MacBook exploited Apple's ecosystem features like iCloud and Continuity to spread to an iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, harvesting credentials and disabling protections. This highlights risks in seamless connectivity, urging users to enable two-factor authentication, monitor devices, and stay vigilant against evolving threats.
Google's Advanced Protection mode, hidden and off by default on Android devices, enhances security against theft, scams, and hacks through stricter verifications, AI scans, and theft detection. Ideal for high-risk users and enterprises, it enforces multi-factor authentication and restricts sideloading. Enabling it bolsters proactive defenses in an evolving threat landscape.
