Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say they didn't count. I just said, "Besides, who gives a damn about such exploits unless they turn into REAL viruses???" -- in other words, unless the exploit is actually exploitable by a virus writer, it's just another proof-of-concept laboratory curiosity.
Answer my question. How many of your precious Apple "contest" exploits have turned into real viruses?
For that matter, how many Windows "contest" exploits have turned into real viruses?
Don't confuse headline-grabbing tech journal "contest" crap with actual security issues. Given that all operating systems can have vulnerabilities, what counts to the REAL world are real viruses in the wild.
Zero-day or 12th-day or next-year, is just jerking off in a laboratory, unless the flaw is exploited in a real virus that makes a real botnet.
I'm saying this about Windows as much as MacOS, too -- it has nothing to do with OS. It's about REALITY. Your eagerness to pick up the mantle of the crap tech journalists is unbecoming, and I'm calling you on it.
Ok like I said you don’t consider 0-day exploits as real issues until they get exploited. So why bother even fixing them right?
I’m glad you are in the real minority (even amongst Apple users).
