Unpatched Mac boxes are just as readily exploited. Now you have made a bald assertion. It is up to you to prove your case. We maintain they are not. All you have to do to prove us wrong is to show us that Macs ARE as readily exploited.
I again demand: SHOW US THE EXPLOITS IN THE WILD!
Put up, or shut up, Bush.
We maintain they are not. All you have to do to prove us wrong is to show us that Macs ARE as readily exploited.
Look, it's obvious to me that no amount of convincing would ever be good enough for you trolls -- so I'm not going to waste my time. You're zealots. Which means you belong to the Cult of Mac. These lines from the article speak for themselves. You disagree with the conclusion. So be it.
"Mac OS X doesn't stand out as particularly more secure than the competition, according to Secunia. Of the 36 advisories issued in 2003-2004, 61 percent could be exploited across the Internet and 32 percent enabled attackers to take over the system. The proportion of critical bugs was also comparable with other software: 33 percent of the OS X vulnerabilities were "highly" or "extremely" critical by Secunia's reckoning, compared with 30 percent for XP Professional and 27 percent for SLES 8 and just 12 percent for Advanced Server 3. OS X had the highest proportion of "extremely critical" bugs at 19 percent."
The facts speak for themselves.
