Apple Strengthens iPhone 17 Security with MIE 🔒

[cryptoenthusiast]

Apple’s iPhone 17 introduces Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE), a major step forward in device security. MIE actively detects and blocks dangerous memory access patterns like out-of-bounds errors and use-after-free vulnerabilities, which are commonly exploited in spyware and malware attacks.

Hacken explains that MIE operates continuously across both kernel and user-level processes, making targeted exploit development more difficult and expensive. This is especially important for crypto users, as wallet apps and Passkey flows rely on in-process operations that could otherwise be vulnerable to memory-based attacks.

While MIE raises the bar for attackers, Hacken notes that it does not make devices invulnerable. Phishing, social engineering, malicious web content, or compromised apps can still pose risks. Apple users should remain vigilant and keep their devices updated.
