Well, shit. Finally I feel justified for never (read: rarely) using the "Save password", feature in my web browser.

Does anyone know if Apple have done anything towards resolving this in the 6 month window they requested? Slightly worrying now that this has been published without a fix from Apple. I don't really download apps very often on my Mac, but probably won't for sure now until I know this has been resolved. Annoying.

You know this was bound to happen sooner or later. That goes for any encryption technology. Last pass was recently "hacked" as well. You can't trust any crypto tech ;)
In the age of crypto-peddling-as-a-service by large, small companies and individuals alike, as an end all be all to general opsec and the tradeoffs inherit in any decision making (as it is so often common to ignore such elephants in the room with one wave of the "trust the math" wands), It might just be more socially acceptable to just feign surprise :P
Which is why "open source all the things" is the way to go for trusting crypto implementations - or at least it's step 1.
