"Security project focuses on Apple"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Two security researchers are spending the next month publicising bugs in Apple's OS X operating system and programs that run on it.

The plan is to only publicise flaws that have never been found before.

The two hackers behind the project also propose to produce working code that can be used to exploit any loopholes they find.

The pair said they will be revealing problems that range in importance from the trivial to the critical.

Bug tracking

Describing the project on their blog, Kevin Finisterre and hacker LMH said their work was not driven by malice.

Instead, they said, highlighting problems and getting them solved would "improve" OS X and many of the programs that run on it.

"A positive side-effect, probably, will be a more concerned (security-wise) user-base and better practices from the management side of Apple," wrote the two researchers.

LMH told the BBC News website that enough bugs have already been found, including some extra ones as back-up."
