Having been notified of the “huge” security hole on Tuesday, the company’s security engineers raced to fix the problem, releasing an update that was pushed out to users of macOS High Sierra on Wednesday afternoon. Unfortunately, that fix introduced another bug, this time within the file sharing system of macOS, preventing some users from authenticating with or connecting to file shares, which are used both in business and on home networks. Olivier Charavel (@charavel) I'm looking forward to having to explain to my family why they have to use the terminal to fix file sharing they use at home or at work because of Apple's fucking incompetence.

A spokesperson said: “We greatly regret this error and we apologise to all Mac users, both for releasing with this vulnerability and for the concern it has caused.
