That's because most Mac users ARE Democrats....:-)

Well...that explains a lot!

I just went through the list again of messages I've gotten from CERT and ISAC over the past several months and it's fairly apparent that OSX (BSD - Whatever you want to call it), is definitely affected by several applications, some of which are remote exploits.

Ah well. I might as well told some lady she had an ugly baby. :-)

I just went through the list again of messages I've gotten from CERT and ISAC over the past several months and it's fairly apparent that OSX (BSD - Whatever you want to call it), is definitely affected by several applications, some of which are remote exploits.

Show us some exploits on an OSX Mac...

The data stacks on a Mac are not executable... so data buffer overflows can do little except perhaps crash the app perhaps producing a denial of service attack. Even that is only an inconvenience. Just restart the app.

As of now, every exploit in the wild for the Mac is a Trojan horse relying on social engineering to persuade a user to download and install the payload.

That's not to say that the Mac is totally secure... someone might find something tomorrow. But for the last 7 years, it hasn't happened.
