[QUOTE="technologist, post: 36774, member: 4134"] Well, firstly, this was a [i]vulnerability[/i], not an exploit. Meaning it was possible, but never actually used for nefarious purposes. And secondly, it's been patched. [url]http://secunia.com/advisories/11689/[/url] It took Apple two tries to get it right (The first patch only fixed the Help Viewer vulnerability) but it was completely fixed about a month after the exploit. Not a great response time, but better than some Windows vulnerabilities. One more reason to run Software Update regularly. [/QUOTE]
