So that makes it illegitimate?
The exploit was there and they got in.
But with any Apple issue, it’s everyone fault but Apple’s.
Never said it wasn't Apple's fault. That is you, projecting on me. I said (please read this slowly, out loud if you have to)
The title is misleading. The Mac was NOT cracked from scratch in 5 seconds. A team of 3 engineers worked 2 weeks to reverse-engineer the Webkit. Then wrote custom software to export various stages the Webkit engine went through, to find an exploit. Then they developed an application, using this (non-exported and typically not available data) exploit to break the flaw.
The title implies that a hacker cracked the Mac in 5 seconds - no mention of the 2 weeks a small team of engineers spent in preparation. The fact is, that the Mac took over 2 weeks to crack.
Bottom line, yes - there is a security flaw in the Mac OS. And I believe that Apple already has a patch released to fix this. This was a nice job by the team - but goes to show you what lengths they had to go to, in order to find this flaw.
