Hack Synced Keychain From A Mac Account

1. Nov 17, 2017  When I restart my mac I get hit with many pop ups asking for password. 'accountsd wants to use 'login' keychain' 'cloudd wants to use the 'login keychain' 'cloudpaird wants to use the 'login' keychain' 'messages Agent wants to use the 'login' keychain 'I've already tried to restore it by erasing the hard drive and using Internet recovery.
2. (Keychain more specifically describes the OS X part. LastPass tested this unintentionally after a hack. Synced automatically, and copied to the clipboard to use in other apps.

There's a Mac vulnerability that could leave passwords vulnerable to malicious apps. But, Apple can't fix it because the hacker that found it won't tell them how. Not until he gets paid, and not until Apple sets up a bounty program so all Mac security researchers will be paid.

Keychain Hack Mac

From Forbes:

Mac Keychain Hack

Oct 06, 2014  The iOS Keychain will be used to store the Master Password when Touch ID/PIN Code is enabled, allowing Touch ID/PIN Code to be used reliably in the 1Password Extension. Lastpass is synced. In the early years of OS X, the Mac operating system was sold on a DVD. If a user forgot the administrator password, perhaps the simplest way (of several) would be to use that disc to set a new. Dec 08, 2019  It’s conveniently built into every Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It’s easy to use, and makes it simple to create safe, complex passwords. It fills them in automatically while using Safari, and stores other types of sensitive personal information for you. These are synced to other Apple devices you’ve enabled Keychain on.

Now German 18-year-old Linus Henze has uncovered a vulnerability affecting the latest Apple macOS that leaves stored passwords open to malicious apps. That could include logins for your bank website, Amazon, Netflix, Slack and many more apps. And even though this is a Mac-only bug, if you're using the iCloud keychain, passwords synced across iPhones and Macs may also be in danger.

To make matters worse, it's likely that no fix is in the works. Henze isn't disclosing his findings to Apple, telling Forbes the lack of payment for such research was behind his decision to keep the hack's details secret from the Cupertino giant.

That Apple still hasn't launched a Mac bounty program to go along with its existing iOS bounty program isn't just perplexing, as a customer I find it utterly unacceptable. But Henze, who has previously dropped 0day vulnerabilities on the Mac community, wrongdoing here won't make that right.

Disclose, then, in the publicity that follows, tear into Apple for not having that program launched already. (Apple has all but said outright that they're working on it.) Tech pubs would like nothing more than to plaster that headline across the internet and get all the attention needed to push Apple into action.

But, other people could have discovered this vulnerability as well and holding it hostage to extort a bounty is just unconscionable.
