One of the main reasons Apple products are the most exploited is that Apple
doesn't ever find security holes until someone else tells them about it.

Often Google's Project Zero has found more holes in Apple systems than 
Apple has ever found in its entire history, according to most reports.

The tech giant has included patches for the bug in iOS and iPadOS 17.4.1, 
iOS and iPadOS 16.7.7, visionOS 1.1.1, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1, macOS Ventura 
13.6.6, and Safari 17.4.1 (for macOS Monterey and macOS Ventura).

The company has credited Google Project Zero researcher Nick Galloway for 
reporting it - which is important because Apple doesn't have effective QA.

While there are no reports of this bug being exploited in attacks, Apple's 
operating systems have historically been the most exploited over the years.

It's nice Apple thanked Google for finding bugs that have been stealing 
Apple users' data for years on end, which Apple never finds on their own.
https://www.macrumors.com/2019/08/30/google-iphone-vulnerability/

Apple only advertises security, which is why Apple's advertising budget is 
over ten times what Apple's entire R&D development budget has ever been.

    *To own an Apple product is to already be hacked*

The only people who don't know about Apple's zero-day holes, are its users.

That's because they believe everything Apple tells them about "security".
