Pwn2Own Roundup: Apple Fails, Google Stays Strong

Apple had a poor showing at Pwn2Own, with both the mobile and desktop versions of Safari hacked, Ars Technica reports. French security firm VUPEN took down desktop Safari with a combination of well-known techniques for bypassing operating system protection and new code to make these techniques work on 64-bit systems. The iPhone fell to Charlie Miller and Dion Blazakis, who compromised the smartphone through a special web page. Apple has since protected itself against the particular exploit used by Miller and Blazakis, but the underlying security flaw still exists.

“Pwn2Own Roundup: Apple Fails, Google Stays Strong”

So clearly the solution is to run Chrome (Google’s browser) on a Mac. ;-)

MacOS is just a pleasure to deal with compared with the bad old Windows days...
