Apple Slams the Door on AI Agents Sniffing Your Private Data
Apple is implementing significant changes to how macOS handles Full Disk Access (FDA) permissions, specifically targeting the potential for AI-powered agents to scrape sensitive user information. While some tech giants argue that current protocols are insufficient for protecting message databases, Apple is doubling down on its permission-based architecture. These updates aim to prevent third-party tools from quietly reading personal communications, reinforcing a security model that requires more granular user authorization and limits the reach of automated scraping tools.
