But what you are ignoring is that these exploits have been known for a long time and yet Apple has not fixed them.

2008 exploit: patched with Safari 3.1.1
2009 exploit: patched with Safari 3.2.3
2010 exploit: patched with CVE-2010-1120

The fact that they hacked them in advance AND apple knew they were doesn't speak very well of their ability to patch products.

The contest is part of TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative. Being zero-day, the vulnerabilities by definition had not been previously reported to any vendor. TippingPoint reported the vulnerabilities to the appropriate vendors after the contest.

You're 0 for 2 in your first paragraph. That might be some kind of record for you.

Oh I see you are referring to a different contest then the one I was. I didn’t know Tipping Point had one as well. Good to know...there are two different contests where Mac is leading the fail.

Nice to know.
