Researchers Find Vulnerability In Software Underlying Discord, Microsoft Teams, and Other Apps
Aaditya Purani, one of the researchers who found these vulnerabilities, said that “regular users should know that the Electron apps are not the same as their day-to-day browsers,” meaning they are potentially more vulnerable. In the case of Discord, the bug Purani and his colleagues found only required them to send a malicious link to a video. With Microsoft Teams, the bug they found could be exploited by inviting a victim to a meeting. In both cases, if the targets clicked on these links, hackers would have been able to take control of their computers, Purani explained in the talk. For him, one of the main takeaways of their research is that Electron is risky precisely because users are very likely to click on links shared in Discord or Microsoft Teams.

Apple Removes ‘Hide My Email’ Support in Third-Party Apps From macOS Ventura Features Page
Apple’s website said that you would be able to “keep your personal email address private with Hide My Email in third‑party apps” with an iCloud+ subscription. It is unclear why Apple delisted the feature or if it is still planned for macOS Ventura’s release later this year. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The feature is still listed on the macOS Ventura page in many other countries, but Apple is typically slower at updating its website in other regions.
Hide My Email was first introduced on the Mac with macOS Monterey last year. The feature can generate unique, random email addresses that automatically forward to your personal inbox, allowing you to hide your actual email address for increased privacy. On macOS Monterey, the feature is limited to Apple apps like Safari and Mail.
Hide My Mail is included with iCloud+ storage plans, which start at $0.99 per month in the U.S. The feature is also available when creating an account in Safari using the “Sign in with Apple” feature. In the Mail app on macOS Monterey version 12.1 and later, Hide My Mail can be found in a pop-up menu in the “From” field.
