You said -- "I was thinking of switching to Mac. However if it's that easy to attack, I'll stay with a secure Windows machine."

It's not. There are discrepancies with the story and not a lot of detail. In addition, from what I read, one source says they got root access, while another says that root was disabled. Then, another source says that it was not hacked from the outside, but hacked from inside the company itself, from others in the office.

In other words, the whole situation is so dubious and lacking details, along with conflicting accounts -- that it's becoming obvious that it's not what the "headline" says.

And you would probably never set up your computer the way that guy did (if it's a real story in the first place). I did go to that original web site and I can't make out any more details than what the article says (it's all lacking detail).

The bottom line is that Macs are the most secure computer that you're going to be able to use and have all the consumer conveniences of a modern computer system with it's extreme ease-of-use.

P.S. -- You can't get a better system on the market for all us people who want to us a computer like "normal folk".
