Warren Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, has sold half of its Apple stock, dropping their holdings from 790 million to 400 million shares. This surprised a lot of people in the investment world.
Despite this sell-off, Apple recently reported strong earnings, showing a revenue increase of nearly 5% and profits up almost 8% compared to last year. This is good news for Apple, even with Berkshire reducing their stake.
Berkshire Hathaway has also been selling other investments, including shares in Bank of America, and now has a significant amount of cash available, totaling $277 billion. This could mean they are preparing for new investment opportunities.
CocoaPods, a tool used by many Apple apps, has serious security flaws that could let hackers inject harmful code into millions of apps. This is a big issue because it affects about 3 million applications.
The vulnerabilities allow attackers to access sensitive information on users' devices, like private messages and medical info. This shows how valuable open-source code can be when it's not properly secured.
It's important for developers to be cautious about third-party code and regularly check their dependencies. They should make sure they're using well-maintained libraries and avoid unclaimed or orphaned code to keep their apps safe.
