oh no.. the almighty mac is not as secure as we once thought!
thats funny, i work information security, i've been predicting this for the past 2 years.
To: ShadowAce
The equivalent here is setting up your XP box as a server with a bunch of services turned on.
The report is slightly troubling, but it would be more interesting if he'd actually set up OS X Server with normal SOP to lock it down to a real-world role.
To: ShadowAce
Gotta love how the tech rags have been going after OS X lately.

This is a joke. This 'tard issued accounts on the machine to anyone who asked. AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, he left SSH open on his machine fir people to login.
This article can be discounted.

Did you read the story? Or just go by the title? I'm guessing the later.

Gee, some joker
gives out local accounts to anybody who asks, uses no firewall, and gets burned.
And the windows droids go wild.

If you make it easy for hackers of course they will find a way in. Which proves nothing.

"he exploited a vulnerability that has not yet been made public or patched by Apple." Oh that's gotta make you guys feel comfortable!

When the vulnerability itself is bunk, no, not really.

You said -- "Oh that's gotta make you guys feel comfortable!"
I just cracked your computer by a previously unknown and unpublished vulnerability. So you're just as vulnerable as those other guys. I'll bet you didn't even know I was in your computer.
Details? Well, I gave you just as much detail as you got from that article.

It reminds me of someone showing how a Caddy was damaged from being hit by a truck. Before that people were saying mini-cars were inherently dangerous. I guess it depends on the set up.
This sounds like a stunt, not like an experiment.
