Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 73983, member: 636"] Apple just told Brussels that its Maps and advertising platforms crossed the threshold for potential gatekeeper status under DMA rules, which means regulators have 45 days to figure out whether these services need stricter antitrust oversight. The company already got slapped with that label for App Store, iOS, and iPadOS, but it keeps arguing Maps and Ads should dodge the designation since neither service dominates its market. Meanwhile, a security researcher stumbled onto weird behavior in the Podcasts app where random episodes automatically launch without user permission, and some of these sketchy shows contain links to potentially malicious websites. The vulnerability works by just visiting certain web pages that trigger the app to open specific content with zero prompts or approval dialogs, which could turn into a serious attack vector if someone finds an exploit in the Podcasts app itself.
