macOS Sequoia Update: Apple Accidentally Turns Cybersecurity Tools into Paperweights
Apple dropped its fancy macOS 15 update, aka Sequoia, on Monday, and guess what? It came with an unexpected feature—breaking some of the cybersecurity tools in the market! Thanks to social media and a Mac nerd Slack channel, we’ve learned that CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft, and others are scrambling to keep up.
Oops, They Did It Again!
Apple’s update has left developers banging their heads on their keyboards. “It's like being blamed for burning down a house when Apple handed you the matches,” grumbled Patrick Wardle, a macOS security wizard. He also suggested Apple should maybe spend less on marketing and more on making sure their software doesn't break things. You know, small things like cybersecurity tools.
Delays, Delays, Delays
CrowdStrike, known for supporting new macOS releases faster than you can say “update,” has had to delay support for Sequoia. They apologized profusely, saying, “Trust us, we tried everything short of bribing the code to work.”
Meanwhile, Reddit is flooded with users facing internet issues, and SentinelOne chimed in with, “Uh, don’t upgrade yet, guys!” Other companies like ESET and Microsoft are just quietly hoping no one notices the chaos.
Even the Firewall’s Confused
Even researchers are scratching their heads. One complained about his firewall blocking web browsing as if it’s the year 2005 again. In the end, Sequoia’s update appears to be one big “oopsie” that cybersecurity companies are racing to fix—before the hackers have too much fun.
