    A researcher has discovered an exploit that can expose passwords on macOS, but says he won't share details of the bug with Apple because of its bug bounty policies. Linus Henze posted a demo video of the KeySteal exploit this week. It seems to grab passwords from login and system keychains without requiring administrator privileges, with a simple click of a button. It works on the latest version of macOS Mojave, though it doesn't seem to affect items stored in iCloud's keychain.
