Eureka! Macs Are Not Invulnerable

This is why computer security is akin to that of a hookers chastity
belt.
Despite the authors clarification of his statement it is evidient that
this PC activist wants the lowest common denomiator for all in the
security stakes. Typical PC zealot with a sad case of tall poppy
syndrome.

Show me one case of an email script virus etc on MACOSX then I'll be
worried. I am pretty sure I would notice some weird looking 14 yearold
hacker hanging around a patch panel which is what is required to
exploit this flaw.

As for wireless environs, for fuck sake hasn't any one heard of WEP?

They have. Apple, who initially petitioned the FCC to open up the
spectrum now dedicated to wireless computer communication, also
implemented WEP on Airport.
