Apple fixed a serious security flaw in macOS Screen Sharing that allowed hackers to gain root access and install Monero mining software on vulnerable Macs exposed to the internet. The vulnerability, CVE-2026-65400, was actively exploited before the patch, affecting tens of thousands of Macs, especially internet-facing bare-metal systems. Changing passwords does not fix the issue; users must install Apple's security update or disable Screen Sharing to protect their devices. Dutch cybersecurity officials confirmed multiple cases of cryptojacking but have not disclosed attacker details or the scale of the compromise.
