TopicsRoot login issueneeds catchy name... “Higher Sierra. Even Higher Sierra? Too High Sierra...”Joe wonders if FileVault was affected, assumes not. Probably need to log into existing user account first. From Addigy's email: "Gaining access to user accounts and turning off FileVault encryption"ARD was susceptible. (Another reason not to forward ARD/SSH port from WAN to LAN!)Our friends at Addigy put out an immediate fix: https://www.addigy.com/fix-the-high-sierra-root-exploit Clients ask, "should I update to the new macOS?" We usually recommend waiting a few months, especially with the major filesystem changes in High Sierra. Our previous best practice was to recommend waiting until the 10.x.3 update. Should we go back to that recommendation? Note that the issue existed in the current beta of 10.13.2 in addition to the latest release of 10.13.1.The sweet spot of macOS releases: 10.x.3 - 10.x.nNote the latest release of each macOS version, e.g. 10.5.8, 10.6.8 v1.1, 10.7.5, 10
