Thanks for the ping, Sword. This description reads well -- seems legit.
Very interesting attack modes. Rather subtle, although not really novel. Apple should evaluate and address these pretty quick.

Actually I note with interest that they mention that Windows also is vulnerable to the WebSockets attack:
"Additionally, this vulnerability isn't limited to just OS X: The researchers also noted iOS and Windows can be affected..."
But of course you get more page hits with "Apple" in the headline... *sigh*
