In the latest 9to5Mac Security Bite episode, Talal from Mysk returns to discuss three privacy and security flashpoints around Apple: why the App Store logs every tap a user makes, why some researchers are publicly stepping away from Apple’s bug bounty program, and Loupe, Mysk’s new free, open-source app designed to show what iOS APIs are sharing about users.

The episode is sponsored by Mosyle, which describes itself as the only Apple Unified Platform and says it is trusted by more than 45,000 organizations to secure and manage millions of Apple devices. According to the sponsor message, its platform combines Apple-focused management and security tools including Hardening & Compliance, Next Generation EDR, AI-powered Zero Trust, Privilege Management, and MDM.

9to5Mac also points listeners to several related links tied to the episode, including Mysk’s broken TCC bug demo, Loupe, and Psylo browser on the App Store, along with Mysk and host Arin Waichulis on social platforms.
