In this episode, I sit down with Jaron Bradley, author and Director at Jamf Threat Labs, to briefly explore the evolution of Apple security and threats over the last decade. In particular we discuss, the reason for infostealer's historic breakout as one of the most popular forms of malware and how AI is being used in the hands of attackers (and defenders too). Jaron also shares his 2026 threat outlook.











A weekly column turned podcast!



Welcome to the 9to5Mac Security Bite podcast, your biweekly deep dive into the ever-evolving world of Apple security. I’m your host, Arin Waichulis, security writer here at 9to5Mac, and every other week, we take a bite out of the most critical stories and developments impacting the devices you use every day.



Whether you’re an IT professional managing a fleet of Macs or a casual Apple user interested in what lurks around some of the world’s most secure operating systems, this show is for you. On the Security Bite pod, we’ll go beyond the headlines and sit down with the industry's top security researchers and experts to break down the latest iOS/macOS headlines, features, and emerging threats so you can stay better informed.
