A new vulnerability was found on M1 Mac and newer models that allow hackers to extract encryption keys. This issue is unpatchable, which means every Mac user could be compromised, but it doesn't mean you should freak out. As first reported by Ars Technica, an academic research paper highlights this unpatchable vulnerability that can extract encryption keys from M1 Mac and newer models.
How can you protect your M1 Mac against this attack? The researchers say that the best way to protect yourself is by constantly updating your Mac to the latest version of macOS. For developers of cryptographic libraries, they can either set the DOIT bit and DIT bit bits, which disable the DMP on some CPUs, such as M3 processors.
