Security is becoming a major problem all over, it seems.

Still safer than PC.

After the Sasser malware attack from 12 years ago, that's why Microsoft instituted the Patch Tuesday process, where security updates for Windows are available every first Tuesday of every month, plus additional updates on an out-of-cycle basis if the security issue is really serious.

Ping. Might be of interest to you, mate.

I am not sure why anyone thought this was newsworthy, since Apple ALWAYS includes security updates in OS X and iOS version updates—it's "Standard Operating Procedure"—but someone wrote an article as though this was a big surprise that Apple did security updates in the last round of Operating System updates fixing vulnerabilities in the systems. No surprises here—just check every single update Apple has ever done. This is literally a non-news article. . . Dog bites Man. — PING!

Apple OS X and iOS Security update are business as normal
Ping!

I would not characterize it as a “patch” either, since this is a rewrite of much of the OS, going from OS X.10.3 to OS X.10.4. Those are major upgrades in the Mac world. . . Security “patches” are pushed out silently in the background, of as “security patches”, not as point level upgrades, which include new functionality as well as other improvements, bug fixes, etc.
