And that makes OSX Secure how?

It easily refutes the insinuation you made with the "first to be hacked" comment. OS X was in fact not easier to hack, but harder since the OS X hack took weeks of advance work to pull off.

I was wondering how the Mac OSX is more secure crowd was going to respond to being the first hacked several times in a row. But what you are ignoring is that these exploits have been known for a long time and yet Apple has not fixed them. The fact that they hacked them in advance AND apple knew they were doesn't speak very well of their ability to patch products.

Before these contents the macbot mantra was it's unbreakable. Then after seeing they were the first hacked it's now but it took a lot of planning to make mac the first to be hacked.

Ok...whatever helps you sleep at night I guess. But it's obvious to anyone that is concerned about security over a company doing well--it's not secure.
