Mac Vulnerability?

Anyone read this article yet?

Eureka! Macs are not invulnerable

Just curious if anyone has any feedback.

After reading about a fourth of the article, I stopped. Lance Ulanoff needs to do some more homework. OS X is not like windows. if he is going to make comparisons. He should stay in the unix family. Most of those type of problems show up in most unix flavors. Look at linux, I get about ten security reports a week on the various flavors of linux. Once again we see the apple verse orange comparison. I know for sure that Apple works very quickly in patching the security hole. So I don't see any crow eating here.

If you like that article.. have a look at the rebuff

os x isnt bullet proof, but it does have much much more security than windows. various flavors of UNIX are used worldwide and there arent nearly as many security holes as found in windows. bigger user base doesnt mean more viruses, bad programming does.

in this article from The Register. It rebuts the asenine article over at PC Mag by Lance Ulanoff where he says he's glad that X has a security hole. It's a nice read

I can't see how this guy can say one default setting on Mac OS X which can be disabled with a few clicks(as demonstrated here), means that Mac OS X is potentially just as insecure as Windows which has hundreds of code flaws and buffer overloads and design flaws that can be exploited by viruses etc. For one this vulnerability can only be exploited if the attacker already has full access to the network on which the target Mac resides and so no virus could be made to exploit it.

Whilst on the subject, here is an example to chuckle about.
Windows the only operating system to give unauthorized root access through a clipart buffer overflow, lol

Great reading dziner, thank you, very interesting. If I may so bold to some up here, I've been online with my Macs for 4 years, 2 of those years with a broadband service, after thousands of downloads, NOT ONE PROBLEM HERE! My other PC friends haven't been so lucky! Hee Hee, Mac I love you!
