    About FileVault encryption and the T2 chip

    I've been reading up on the subject, and it is my understanding that although the SSD on the new MBP is encrypted by default by the T2 chip, I should enable FileVault as well. From what I understood, enabling FileVault would tie my password with the encryption key in the T2 controller, making...

    Was CVE-2016-7585 ever fixed for 10.11?

    It was the PCIleech problem (retrieving FileVault keys), that got fixed in 10.12.4. Looking at Apple’s website it looks like it was only fixed for Sierra and not El Cap?
