Apple is impossible to hack. At least according to Swordmaker and the cult of apple.
But I think even the most diehard fans now admit apple like all software companies has hackable bugs in their code.
Imperfect beings cannot create perfection.
I heard it on Kung-fu The Legend Continues.
I remember there was a competition back in the days like one of the pwn2pwn contests, it was a Mac desktop vs. Windows desktop, both run of the mill machines with latest operating systems and updates for each.
Two teams were trying to hack each one
The Mac was hacked in 8 minutes
The windows machine was hacked in by end of day
You would have thought it would have been the other way around. The Mac wasn’t more secure, it just wasn’t worth hacking into since they were such a minority of devices on the Internet. Security by obscurity wasn’t really security...
There’s varying numbers you can find but you’ll find few that will contest that there’s a security flaw in every several thousand lines of code.
Today’s OS’s have 10’s of millions of lines of code.
Everything is hackable but that’s not the point. The Safari “hack” took hours, it was a brute force attack. It’s not a simple remote exploit.
